The Father Brown Reader II: More Stories from Chesterton

Sequel to the popular Father Brown Reader, this book features four of the "Father Brown mysteries" written by G.K.Chesterton adapted for young readers. These mysteries involve murders and the consider the concept of "sight." Are things as they appear? The book includes the short stories "The Invisible Man," "Mirror of the Magistrate," "The Eye of Apollo," and "The Perishing of the Pendragons."

A deft, respectful, gripping adaptation with huge kid appeal. The first volume was my daughter's springboard to Chesterton---she went from the Fr. Brown adaptation to The Everlasting Man. --Melissa Wiley-Author, the Little House "Martha Years" books

I liked Mrs. Brown's latest book because the stories are easy too read, yet still hold true to the original Father Brown stories. They make really good read aloud stories for kids of multiple ages, too. --Clare L., age 12

Bottom line: for those who can, read the original Chesterton stories; for those who can't, feel confident reading this (as well as the first) collection adapted by [Nancy Carpentier] Brown. --Mary Gildersleeve, for mater et magistra magazine
