Yule-tide Stories: A Collection of Scandinavian and North German Popular Tales & Traditions

Interesting book. I've linked to The Wreath(Questenberg, Germany) which I enjoyed skimming. The reading level is probably later middle school and up. It's well written and catches you interest right away.

Download Help from a Download Manager

I have dial-up which may be the reason that I have trouble downloading book from Google, although I've not had this problem elsewhere. The other day, I stumbled upon a free download manager, and for the first time was able to download books off Google.

If you've had similar problems, you might want to try a download manager. It pauses and saves, which is especially good for dial-up so when you lose your connection you aren't having to begin again. It save the portion you have downloaded before you lost you connection, and resumes after you re-connect.
