ETA: It seems as if only Louisa May Alcott is free on this side of the pond. Now I feel better!

Not even that in Canada or Australia. Perhaps UK only, sorry.

I know that this isn't a great discount, but some of you may get some benefit out of this information.

Delphi, which produces the Delphi Classics and maybe other ebooks, is having a winter sale (you people in the southern hemisphere, please read that as "summer" ha). They say, "Spend $12 or more and get 25% off all eBooks. Coupon: BERRY". I don't know if you can get this discount on sale items. Here's a link for shopping at Delphi.

In case you are not familiar with Delphi, they produce non-fiction as well as fiction ebooks. But all of them are "classics."

There is a small selection of free Delphi Classics here. I suspect that the selection changes from time to time, so you may want to check back there occasionally if you like free classics.

Still free in the US.

A long time best selling writer I have never been able to get into.

Anthem (Xist Classics) (1939) (80 pp) by Ayn Rand

A dystopian terror for teens and adults

Ayn Rand's shortest work images a world where education is banned and there is one word punishable by death -- "I." The hero discovers that man's greatest duty is the pursuit of his own happiness and embodies the philosophies explored in Rand's later and longer works, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead.

http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00UCI9MPE/

Public domain in the US (Gutenberg has it) and elsewhere where the rule of the shortest term is in force and applicable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthem_(novella)

First published in UK so should still be in copyright here

X-link to the DRM-free megathread for the new Wildside Press freebie for this Tuesday:

The Melba Marlett Minipack™ contains a vintage literary short by the eponymous late author, originally published in Ladies Home Journal in 1959.

ATDrake · 12-16-2015, 03:50 PM

Bargain @ $4.99 CAD for today only (Dec 16th) from Doubleday Canada's Bond Street Books imprint as Kobo Canada's Deal of the Day (not couponable, price matched in the other Canadian stores, eligible for 2X Kobo Super Points).

Circling the Sun by Paula McLain, her historical novel based on the life of pioneering aviatrix Beryl Markham (Wikipedia), of West With the Night fame.

This is $13.99 in the US, and £9.99 in the UK from different publishers.

Paula McLain, author of the phenomenal New York Times bestseller The Paris Wife, takes readers to Kenya in the 1920s, where the beautiful young horse trainer, adventurer and aviator Beryl Markham tells the story of her life among the glamorous and decadent circle of British expats living in colonial East Africa--and the complicated love triangle she shared with the white hunter Denys Finch Hatton and Karen Blixen, author of Out of Africa.

Brought to Kenya as a small child and then abandoned by her mother, Beryl is raised both by her father--a racehorse trainer--and the native Kipsigis tribe on her father's land. Her unconventional upbringing transforms her into a daring young woman, with a love of all things wild, but everything she knows and trusts dissolves when her father's farm goes bankrupt. Reeling from the scandal and heartbreak, Beryl is catapulted into a disastrous marriage at the age of 16. Finally she makes the courageous decision to break free, forging her own path as a horse trainer and shocking high society in the process. The British colony has never seen a woman as determined and fiery as Beryl. Before long, she catches the eye of the fascinating and bohemian Happy Valley set, including writer Karen Blixen and her lover Denys Finch Hatton, who will later be immortalized in Blixen's memoir, Out of Africa. The three become embroiled in a complex triangle that changes the course of Beryl's life, setting tragedy in motion while awakening her to her truest self and her fate: to fly.
