This was mentioned on the F&SF deal thread, along with a warning from the moderators that some, if not all, of the collection is still under copyright.

You could also get the Complete Works of Oscar Wilde, including the poems, for free from the Patricia Clark Memorial Library.

Delphi Classics have just released the Complete Works of Anthony Hope, currently on sale at $2.49. Hope is most famous for his novel "The Prisoner of Zenda", but wrote many other novels, too.

To save anyone pointing out the blinding obvious, yes, these books are all in the public domain, yes, they can be downloaded for free elsewhere, etc etc etc. Delphi Classics do nicely formatted editions, though, which (IMHO) are good value for money.

I'll cross post this to SF

Delphi Classics is offering a free copy of the Collected Works of Ellen Wood (aka Mrs. Henry Wood), in either/both Kindle mobi and ePub formats.

Let me quote the articulate (and erudite) Harry T, from a post that he made earlier today about another Delphi Classics book. It applies to this book, also:
To save anyone pointing out the blinding obvious, yes, these books are all in the public domain, yes, they can be downloaded for free elsewhere, etc etc etc. Delphi Classics do nicely formatted editions, though, which (IMHO) are good value for money.

This is the "Parts Edition" of this anthology, which means that the files for all of the various works in the book are separate.

Go here to get this ebook.

^ Shows as $5.99 for me. That was quick.

Hmmm . . . very suspicious. When I went back to the email message to read it again, the part of it talking about the Allen anthology was gone! I didn't even know that that could be done, after a person has downloaded an email message. I know, you may not believe it. I can't believe it, either.

Anyway, I went to Delphi Classic's webpage for the ebook. Here is what Delphi is offering free--a copy of Allen's novel East Lynne. It is one part of the anthology. Here is the link. Scroll down about one-fourth of the way down and you'll see instructions as to how to download the Kindle mobi of it and the ePub of it.

My apologies for any failure that there might be on my part about the mix-up.

UPDATE: Okay, I'm thoroughly confused. I went to the email from Delphi Classics that I get at a secondary email address. The information wasn't there. So, I don't know where I saw it, then. I'll let you know when I find it, so you won't think that I've lost my mind. ha

The apology stands.

Not necessary.

I noted that they're also offering The Prisoner of Zenda free from the Hope collection. This must be their new marketing gimmick, to give one free title (the best known, in both of these cases) as a teaser for the collection.

Little.Egret · 03-02-2016, 06:24 AM

Free for a few days anyway

"original, light-hearted fiction based solidly on the reality of life on the
