From the Author

G. K. Chesterton was one of the greatest Catholic writers of the 20th century, and more and more people today are discovering the treasure in his works. This guide focuses on the very first "Father Brown Mystery" that he wrote.

Review

Mrs. Brown has written a comprehensive study guide with vocabulary, discussion questions, and word study. Your student will find much food for thought while becoming acquainted with this great writer.

Mrs. Brown has given her reader everything they need for a study of the short story "The Blue Cross" - even the story - in this 90-page study guide.  This study guide just begs to be opened and used -- always a bonus when spending money from usually quite limited homeschool budgets.

[A]n invaluable resource...Many of us hesitate to tackle Chesterton... he is perceived to be too lofty...  Chesterton...should be introduced to every high school student...Brown has given teachers and parents a great gift...
Maureen Wittmann, author, For the Love of Learning: Using Living Books in the Classroom and Home

No education is complete without at least a sampling of Chesterton, and the mysteries are the best place to begin. How good of Mrs. Brown to make Father Brown so curriculum-friendly.

Mike Aquilina, author, The Fathers of the Church

Every text of Chesterton repays careful study. From it can be unpacked the wisdom of one of the great minds of Europe...  This carefully constructed study guide will lead a new generation into a wondrous world of common sense and uncommon fun.

Stratford Caldecott, UK director of the G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture
