Young Readers
Stories of childhood, exploration, resilience and imaginative adventure represented across the current public-domain collection.
Independent digital catalogue
This independent catalogue gathers 96 public-domain texts, chiefly classic adventures and expeditions for children and young adults. Each book record pairs edition details with editorial notes that supply historical and literary context, supporting first readings. Four subject categories—Young Readers, School Stories, Children’s Adventures, and Fairy Moral Tales—serve as browsing aids, with overlap where a work fits multiple subjects. Practical paths into the collection include following the Mercer Boys series, sampling late 19th-century adventure fiction by authors like G. A. Henty, or exploring early 20th-century girl-centered stories. The catalogue is fully navigable via the ebooks archive page, where each title receives a dedicated page.
