About the Author
James Kavanaugh was ordained and actively ministered for ten years as a Catholic Priest before attending Catholic University in Washington D.C. Working on his second doctoral degree, he wrote an article for the Saturday Evening Post, entitled, "I am a Priest, and I want to marry." The article questioned the practice of celibacy among priests. The year was 1967, the height of the sexual revolution. Although it was written under a pseudonym and even his closest friends and family were not aware of the author, it was received with such commotion and outrage, the secret would not be kept for long. Soon Simon and Schuster was calling for a book deal. Amid personal confusion, James took a leave of absence from the priesthood, packed his VW bug and headed for California to write books.

An excellent piece of childrens literature!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Crooked Angel (Paperback)
I was very impressed with this timeless story. I used it in my preschool class and found that the children related well to the story, and found it entertaining. Mr. Kavanaugh does a terrific job bringing his wonderful characters to life. This book is a must have for anyone who works with children, or appreciates fine creative childrens literature.

This review is from: The crooked angel, (Hardcover)
The crooked angel deals with feeling different, not accepted and left out. Friendship with one other who also feels different builds a bond. Laughter is the solution.
