The 250+ books are organized around a 12-month rotation which is simply a layered approach to learning about the whole world and everything in it. Here you will find stories from history, world cultures, fairy tales, epic and legendary heroes, great literature, fine art, music, poetry, nature and great lives that will inspire nobler living. The stories were gathered from over 799 of the best books of its time. The app allows you to highlight and annotate, bookmark, and search the library. Many of the stories include audio versions.
