Encyclopedia Brown
Encyclopedia Brown is a fictional boy detective created by Donald J.
Sobol, protagonist of a children's mystery book series beginning in 1963.
Leroy Brown earned his nickname from his encyclopedic knowledge, which he uses to solve cases in his hometown of Idaville.
Each story ends with a solution the reader can deduce from clues in the text.
The name is sometimes used for anyone with an impressive store of facts: He's the Encyclopedia Brown of baseball statistics.
