My brother had several Encyclopedia Brown books, and I remember them because they had the solutions in the back (which I always skipped to).
At that age mysteries seemed like magic tricks to me. Putting one of my own together seemed like the most difficult and coolest thing to do. Still does.
Donald J. Sobol, creator of Leroy "Encyclopedia" Brown and friends, turns 80 today.
Bad, bad Leroy Brown,
the baddest man in the whole damn town,
badder than old King Kong,
meaner than the junkyard dog.
