try this

$xml = simplexml_load_file("books.xml") 
   or die("Error: Cannot create object");

  foreach($xml->children() as $books){
foreach($books->children() as $book => $data){
  echo $data->id;
  echo $data->title;
  echo $data->author;
  echo "<br />";
}

Answer 2

Assuming your Event nodes have one parent (ie <Events><Event>...</Event><Event>...</Event></Events>):

$xml = simplexml_load_file($file_xml);

foreach($xml->Event as $event) {
    $idAttr = 'ID';

    $event_id = (string) $event->attributes()->$idAttr;
    $venue_id = (string) $event->Venue->attributes()->$idAttr;

    $venue_img_2 = (string) $event->Venue->Image->Url;
}
