Complete 51-Volume Harvard Classics

The Complete 51-Volume Harvard Classics (1909-10), now officially available free in PDF. Buying a fine set in print would cost you around $600 or more. Includes beautifully edited and presented pre-PC volumes of The Thousand and One Nights; Folk-Lore and Fable: Aesop, Grimm, Andersen; and Epic and Saga. Volume 50 appeared in 1916 and provided “Introduction, Reader’s Guides, Indexes”, including eleven carefully designed ‘reading plans’ based on a set amount of reading each day. Thus it is not necessary for the rather daunted reader to just start at Vol. 1 and plough on from there. Volume 51 is a printed series of public lectures on the series.
