Harry
Dee or Working it Out
By Fr. Francis J. Finn S.J.Young Harry Dee arrives at St. Maure's School for
Boys thin and pale from a painful past, which includes the murder of his rich
uncle. There he meets new friends Tom Playfair and Percy Wynn. Together they
share many wild experiences as they endeavor to help Harry recover from his
early trauma and solve "the mystery of Tower Hill Mansion." In this
final installment of the beloved Tom Playfair series by Fr. Francis J. Finn,
we follow the boys as they graduate from St. Maure's to head toward the life's
work to which God is calling each of them as young Catholic men.
Youthful
Idealism and Catholic Virtue
Writing in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Fr. Francis J. Finn captured
the very essence of youthful idealism and Catholic virtue in his popular books.
It was Fr Finn's conviction that, "One of the greatest things in the
world is to get the right book into the hands of the right boy or girl. No
one can indulge in reading to any extent without being largely influenced
for better or worse." Fr. Finn's books were read by hundreds of thousands
of young people in his own time. According to the American Catholic Who's
Who, Fr. Finn was acknowledged as, "the foremost Catholic writer of fiction
for young people." All together Fr. Finn wrote twenty-seven books and,
at his death in 1928, thousands of children turned out to mourn their departed
friend.
A Treasure
for Catholic Families
Amid the glut of questionable literature for children and the welcome rediscovery
of older Christian works like those of C.S Lewis, Fr. Finn's books burst forth
like a buried a treasure for Catholic families. Filled with adventure, courage,
down-to-earth characters and high Catholic ideals, they are just as enjoyable
to kids today as when they were first written. Kids just love the quaint turn-of-the-century
language and Father's own brand humor that, once they "get into it,"
they find simply hilarious!
Now, Saint Joseph Communications is bringing these wonderful stories to a
new generation of Catholic children and families by producing them on CD.
Order Harry Dee or Working it Out now and discover a "painless"
way to instill Catholic principles in your kids today. And don't forget the
others in the series, Tom Playfair or Making a Start and Percy Wynn or Making
a Boy of Him.
