The SchriftOhr Editions
The SchriftOhr Editions are books made for reading, for listening, and for sharing with family. Many are classics we love, from Bunyan and Owen to Treasure Island and the Sugar Creek Gang, each set with care: the author's full text, real chapters, clean pages.
Some begin with an old printing that we set again from the ground up. Others are new: stories drawn from old sources few readers can find today, retold for families and young readers. More of those are on the way.
Every edition is free, with no account and no tracking. Download it, keep it, and open it in any EPUB reader. In SchriftOhr, a voice will read it to you.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Free EPUB · proofing copy
Arthur Conan Doyle
The twelve stories that put Baker Street on the map. A king who needs a photograph back, a pawnbroker paid to copy out the encyclopaedia, a speckled band and a whistle in the night at Stoke Moran. Our edition follows the 1892 Harper printing and keeps Sidney Paget's drawings, with a colour plate opening each story. Proofing copy: corrections welcome.
The Pilgrim's Progress Free EPUB
John Bunyan
The most widely read allegory in English, and still the best companion for the road. Christian sets out from the City of Destruction with a burden on his back, and the way to the Celestial City runs through the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair and Doubting Castle. In Part Two his wife Christiana and their children follow after him. A book for every age in the house.
The Mortification of Sin in Believers Free EPUB · proofing copy
John Owen
Short, sharp and searching. Owen preached these sermons to Oxford students in 1656 on a single verse, Romans 8:13, and they remain the book many readers are handed first when a sin will not let go. He is just as clear on the ways we fool ourselves that the fight is over. From the 1668 printing. Proofing copy: corrections welcome.
The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment Free EPUB · proofing copy
Jeremiah Burroughs
Contentment, Burroughs says, is learned, which means it can be taught. In these sermons on Philippians 4:11 he shows what true contentment is and is not, and answers one by one the excuses a restless heart makes. A Puritan classic that reads as if it were written this week. From the 1649 printing. Proofing copy: corrections welcome.
Meditations and Discourses on the Glory of Christ Free EPUB · proofing copy
John Owen
Owen's last work, and two books in one. The Meditations dwell on the glory of Christ in his person, his office and his grace; the Discourses that complete them turn that glory toward the unbeliever and toward the Christian whose love has grown cold. Read together, each makes the other richer. Spelling is modernised; Scripture stands as printed. Proofing copy: corrections welcome.
The Sovereignty of God Free EPUB · proofing copy
A. W. Pink
Plain words on a hard subject. Pink sets out what Scripture says of God's rule over creation, salvation and the human will, then takes the usual objections one at a time. This is the full 1918 first edition, with the three appendices that later abridgements cut. Proofing copy: corrections welcome.
Treasure Island Free EPUB
Robert Louis Stevenson
The pirate story all the others borrow from. A dying sailor at the Admiral Benbow, a map in his sea-chest, and young Jim Hawkins bound for the island aboard the Hispaniola, alongside a ship's cook named Long John Silver who is far better company than he ought to be. Wonderful read aloud.
The Swiss Family Robinson Free EPUB
Johann David Wyss
Shipwrecked with each other and whatever they can save from the wreck, a father, a mother and four boys make a home on an unknown island, treehouse and all. Inventive, hopeful and full of practical wonder, and a family read-aloud for generations.
The Mystery at Dark Cedars Free EPUB
Edith Lavell
Meet Mary Louise Gay, sixteen and set on being a detective. Money is vanishing from a miserly old woman's shuttered house, and the orphaned niece takes the blame. Mary Louise is sure they have the wrong girl. A good old-fashioned mystery for young readers.
The Mystery of the Fires Free EPUB
Edith Lavell
A month at Shady Nook with her friend Jane, and Mary Louise means to do nothing but swim and canoe. Then a bungalow burns, then another, and the summer neighbours begin eyeing one another. She is on holiday. The fires are not.
The Mystery of the Secret Band Free EPUB
Edith Lavell
Christmas is coming, and Mary Louise has her first real case: two weeks away from home, working at her father's trade at last. Then come the robberies. A midnight visitor, an empty house, a blow in the dark, and a gang nobody can name.
The Sugar Creek Gang Goes North Free EPUB
Paul Hutchens
Bill Collins and the gang head north to camp, hoping to see their friend Snow-in-the-face again. Instead they walk into a kidnapping. Boyhood adventure with a warm heart and a plain faith, the way the Sugar Creek books always are.
The Sugar Creek Gang Digs for Treasure Free EPUB
Paul Hutchens
Little Jim and Bill play Robinson Crusoe on the lakeshore and dig for make-believe treasure, until the game turns real: a kidnapper, a ransom, and money nobody can find.
The Green Tent Mystery at Sugar Creek Free EPUB
Paul Hutchens
Walking home past the old cemetery on the darkest night of summer, three boys see a light among the gravestones and somebody digging. Just scary enough, and it keeps the Sugar Creek Gang busy until autumn.
