Today you are all walking for the prize cake book authored by Nancy Brown The Father Brown Reader. It's Nancy's own birthday gift to you.
The Father Brown Reader is an adaptation of short stories written by G.K. Chesterton. Introducing your child to this great mind at an early age is a plus for you and your child. Remember, they say one can get a college-level education from reading his work.
Long ago, I had a wise pastor who loved Chesterton. I didn't know who Chesterton was, what he had written, nor did I care (at the time); but I did know my pastor (who was a great man himself and I remember him fondly). Fr. Decoteau never taught me by preaching. He taught me completely by example. Then I met Nancy and she has educated me in Chesterton better than any college English professor could have.
Thank you, Nancy.
So what's in this little gem of a reader? It can be read by those as young as eight years and is easily enjoyable for anyone (even adults) who would like to meet the great Chesterton but has avoided him for whatever reasons. This is your chance to meet the great Chesterton.
Nancy shares four of his short mysteries in this reader:
- The Blue Cross
- The Strange Feet
- The Flying Stars
- The Absence of Mr. Glass
For those who don't win the Book-Walk prize, Nancy has extended a special offer this Friday (November 9th). She writes:
"Since it's my birthday week, on Friday I would do a special offer to anyone who didn't win the book but is interested in a great St. Nick idea or stocking stuffer. OR, you may already own one copy, but need a few more for those nieces and nephews that are on your list.
"On FRIDAY ONLY: The Father Brown Reader will be available for the pre-publication price of $7.99. That's right, and it's a $2 savings for you. If you were waiting for a reason to order, this is it. Just in time for a Fall Birthday (like mine!), a Thanksgiving treat, a St. Nicholas gift, or someone's Christmas present."
You can stop by Nancy's blog for this special offer tomorrow. For today, just follow these simple directions and email me your name and mailing address to enter the Book-Walk.
So, without any further ado, let the music begin and let's start waltzing walking for that cake book. I see some contestants have already arrived. Welcome! :)
