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.

Halleck's New English Literature/Project Gutenberg
"The book furnishes a concise account of the history and
growth of English literature from the earliest times to the present day. It lays special emphasis on literary movements, on the essential qualities that differentiate one period from another, and on the spirit that animates each age. Above all, the constant purpose has been to arouse in the student an enthusiastic desire to read the works of the authors discussed. Because of the author's belief in the guide-book function of a history of literature, he has spent much time and thought in preparing the unusually detailed Suggested Readings that follow each chapter."

The American Class Book/19th Century School Books
The American class book, or, A collection of instructive reading lessons : adapted to the use of schools : selected from Blair's class book, etc. by Thomas Kimber.
Wonderful short writings covering various topics. All have a high moral tone. I plan to use some of these when my son gets a little older.

A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales/Project Gutenberg
A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales by Jonathan Nield is featured on Project Gutenberg with a link list to free texts from Nield's suggested course of study. How neat! The list is geared toward adult and high school level study; however, there are two suggested courses of study for boys and girls.
