how to concat files XML with xslt

I need to concat a number 'N' of the XML in another XML.

For example: I've this XML 

<BOOKS>
    <BOOK>
        <TITTLE>Lord of the Rings</TITLE>
        <AUTHORS>J. R. R. Tolkien</AUTHORS>
        <AUTHORS>J. K. Rowling</AUTHORS>
        <YEAR>2015</YEAR>
    </BOOK>
    <BOOK>
        <TITTLE>The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies</TITLE>
        <AUTHORS>J. R. R. Tolkien</AUTHORS>
        <YEAR>2013</YEAR>
    </BOOK>
</BOOKS>

and this:

<BOOKS>
    <BOOK>
        <TITTLE>A Clash of Kings</TITLE>
        <AUTHORS>George R. R. Martin</AUTHORS>
        <AUTHORS>J. K. Rowling</AUTHORS>
        <YEAR>2016</YEAR>
    </BOOK>
    <BOOK>
        <TITTLE>The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies</TITLE>
        <AUTHORS>J. R. R. Tolkien</AUTHORS>
        <YEAR>2013</YEAR>
    </BOOK>
</BOOKS>

I need to generate a new file like this:

<BOOKS>
    <BOOK>
        <TITTLE>Lord of the Rings</TITLE>
        <AUTHORS>J. R. R. Tolkien</AUTHORS>
        <AUTHORS>J. K. Rowling</AUTHORS>
        <YEAR>2015</YEAR>
    </BOOK>
    <BOOK>
        <TITTLE>The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies</TITLE>
        <AUTHORS>J. R. R. Tolkien</AUTHORS>
        <YEAR>2013</YEAR>
    </BOOK>
    <BOOK>
        <TITTLE>A Clash of Kings</TITLE>
        <AUTHORS>George R. R. Martin</AUTHORS>
        <AUTHORS>J. K. Rowling</AUTHORS>
        <YEAR>2016</YEAR>
    </BOOK>
    <BOOK>
        <TITTLE>The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies</TITLE>
        <AUTHORS>J. R. R. Tolkien</AUTHORS>
        <YEAR>2013</YEAR>
    </BOOK>
</BOOKS>

The XMLs are in my directory: E:\books. I want to concat all files, for example: If I've two files, the script will concat them, but if I've three or more files, the script will concat also. How do I do it?

In XSLT 2.0 with Saxon it's

<xsl:template name="main">
  <BOOKS>
    <xsl:sequence select="collection('dir?select=*.xml')/BOOKS/BOOK"/>
  </BOOKS>
</xsl:template>
