Bøger af William Brittain

This is Crippen & Landru's second collection by William Brittain. The first (The Man Who Read Mysteries) included all of the "Man Who Read...." stories and a few stories about the logical and deductive science teacher, Mr. Strang. Our second collection (of a planned three volumes) contains the rest of the Mr. Strang stories, all 25 of them. The collection has an introduction by Josh Pachter (as did the first collection) and an afterword by one of the Brittain children. William Brittain continues to be one of our best-selling and fan favorite authors.

It s been worth the wait. One of the authors most requested by Crippen & Landru readers throughout its 25-year history has been mystery writer William Brittain, whose fiction challenges the reader with tricky plots presented in a unique style. For the first time, all of the popular Man Who Read stories and a selection of the Mr. Strang stories have been collected into a single volume. Both series appeared in Ellery Queen s Mystery Magazine during the mid-years of the 20th century. Sadly, Brittain later forsook mystery fiction to become a children s author, and his YA novel The Wish Giver earned him a Newbery Honor award. This collection was edited by Josh Pachter, who also wrote the introduction and compiled a bibliography of Brittain s many publications.
