Join us as we explore the history of Encyclopedia Brown, the beloved children's book series written by Donald J. Sobol. From its humble beginnings in the 1960s, to its lasting impact on generations of young readers, we delve into the world of Encyclopedia Brown and his sidekick Sally Kimball. With clever mysteries and brain-teasing puzzles, these books have captured the hearts and minds of readers for decades. Along the way there were lawsuits possibly keeping Encyclopedia Brown from becoming a more recognized property and an HBO TV series that was mysteriously cut short. And its influence on modern media in the form of movies like Mystery Team and The Kid Detective.
