A true TREAURE! G.K. Chesterton is a favorite in our home school! Father Brown is a character the reader can respect and love. This author is so thoughtful in his writings and a master of telling a good mystery.

Exceptional! Upon first reading, you think that Father Brown is incredibly clever and observant. Then, upon further reflection, you recognize that Chesterton is the true genius here.I'd rank these equal to or better than any Holmes mysteries. Very British, and with a large vocabulary, but riveting.

As others have stated, this has been a favorite in our homeschool, with my children poring over it again and again. G.K. Chesterton, as always, shines his incomparable light of wit, humor, and quirky insights into the darkest shadows of thrilling childhood mysteries through Father Brown's amateur detective work. Exceptionally good reading at any age!
