November Living Book Sale List: Literature, Poetry, Fairy Tales, & Five in a Row...

Today, I bring you the most updated list of literature, poetry, and Five in a Row books I have for sale.  Some are picture books and some are chapter books.  Many are classics.  I've tried to denote hardcovers.  I also used codes to show books used by particular homeschool publishers/curricula where applicable, but don't get hung up on divisions: 

SL – Sonlight

AO – Ambleside Online

SCM – Simply Charlotte Mason

BF – Beautiful Feet

WP – Winter Promise

VP – Veritas Press

MFW – My Father’s World

Feel free to take a look at the Language Arts list for supplemental pieces to accompany your literature study.  Also, here's the updated History list from last week.  Charlotte Mason said, "...the study of Literature goes pari passu with that of History."  Pari passu meaning with equal pace or progress; side by side. 

Prices do not reflect shipping. I accept PayPal and ship media mail anywhere in the U.S.  Please send questions, comments, and requests through the contact form on the right.  We own duplicate copies of most of these books and have read several.  I'm happy to make recommendations if you need them.  Once I have your list, I will package and weigh books and send you a total price for payment.

Thanks so much for your consideration,
Melissa
