The Father Brown Reader II: More Stories from Chesterton
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 toThe Everlasting Man. --Melissa Wiley-Author, the Little House "Martha Years" booksI 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 12Bottom 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
