The Father Brown Reader II

Illustrated by Theodore Schluenderfritz

How do you introduce Chesterton to young readers? With Nancy Brown’s retelling of the Father Brown stories. Here is her second volume of mysteries for 9-12 year olds as they try to figure out: Who is the invisible man? Who was the man in the mirror? How did the man look directly at the sun? And what does that dragon mean?

The sequel to the popular Father Brown Reader: Stories from Chesterton. Includes adaptations for young readers of four of Chesterton’s Father Brown murder mysteries: “The Inivisible Man,” “The Mirror of the Magistrate,” “The Eye of Apollo,” and “The Perishing Pendragons”. In these stories, the notorious criminal Flambeau has reformed and is now a great detective. He is often aided by his friend and confidant Father Brown.
