The Father Brown Reader

Illustrated by Theodore Schluenderfritz

Wondering how to get young readers started with Chesterton? Look no further. Nancy Brown (no relation to Father Brown that we know of) has taken four famous stories about the priest detective and re-told them for children. Add Ted Schluenderfritz’s marvelous illustrations, and you have a perfect treat. Adaptations include four of Chesterton’s Father Brown mysteries for young readers: “The Blue Cross,” “The Strange Feet,” “The Flying Stars,” and “The Absence of Mr. Glass.”
