Default Anybody know of resources for fun historical tales?

Hey guys, I'm going to a retreat with this group I'm involved with, and I've been assigned as storyteller for an evening. I really like historical tales, about kings, conquerors, romance, or tales from india, or fables. What are some good resources for really great historical stories-can be funny, interesting, or even spiritual, the emotion the story gives really doesn't matter. It also doesn't have to be true at all, could be like a legend or myth. They have to be relatively short though, because my audience is not that mature, haha kids have short attention spans..

Thanks

In general either wikipedia or Main Page - Gutenberg (they have an enomous collection of out of copywrite books). If you stories, why not take the excellent Aesops fables?

Thanks for the input, I'm going to go look up that last book at the library right now.
