Hello all,

My personal interest is in the fact I read Encyclopedia Brown as a child (circa 1973) which were in my school library. They were also available in Scholastic books order forms. They are a timeless piece's written to inspire children to want to read more. I wish they were still in the Scholastic books available books. I would buy them for my children and my grandchildren. I remember reading through them with great abandon as a child. The very logic and excitement contained within were spellbinding. I wish to start this page in the hopes of others that remember reading them, to step forth and remember. Some things should not die; literature is one of them, whether it is children’s books or masterpieces written for all.

I still remember; "reading is fundamental".

Something tells me that little quote was purely put in as a gay joke. I'm thinking it should be removed, unless anyone disagrees. --Foot Dragoon 06:05, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed from the Fictional Encyclopedias category

This book is not an Encyclopedias, Encyclopedias is just the character's nickname. Anyone looking for info's on encyclopedias will not want this article. meshach 07:52, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Namesake?

Is there any documented link between Encyclopedia Brown and the priest-detective, Father Brown? Or are their last names merely a coincidence? David Bergan (talk) 07:28, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
