The Father Brown Reader


I am reading Nancy C. Brown's
The Father Brown Reader right now. It's delightful! Krazyglue couldn't put it down last night, after I told him how much I enjoyed the first story. Nancy Brown has taken 4 favorites of G. K. Chesterton's mystery stories featuring the unassuming and wise Father Brown (no relation--LOL!) and adapted them for children. Her craftsmanship in doing so is superb! And the illustrations by Ted Schluenderfritz are just perfect for this volume.

I have already purchased two for Christmas gifts, and you can order autographed copies for those on your list by visiting Nancy Brown's blog Flying Stars. Be sure to see her November 23rd blog entry entitled Why is Chesterton for Children?

Imagine your kids telling your relatives how much they enjoy Chesterton!
