About
Greetings from Cleveland Ohio. Lou Armagno here, a big Detective Charlie Chan fan, blogger, and frequent participating member of the Charlie Chan Family Home site. I've been blogging since 2019 about the detective and completed my lifelong mission: to publish a book of the original aphorisms in the six Charlie Chan novels (1925-1932) by Ohio Author Earl Derr Biggers. You can read all about that and visit my blog on my AG site. Aloha and hope you stop by! Lou

The Wisdom Within Earl Derr Bigger's Charlie Chan: The Original Aphorisms Inside The Charlie Chan Canon
The Wisdom Within Earl Derr Biggers' Charlie Chan is a collection of 175 aphorisms found inside the six Charlie Chan novels by Warren, Ohio author Earl Derr Biggers, published between 1925-1932. Unlike previous collections of Charlie Chan aphorisms, these are the real deal. They are the original aphorisms Biggers borrowed from the great sages and philosophers: Buddha, Socrates, Confucius, Plato, Jesus, Lao-Tzu and the I Ching for his novels. Earl Derr Biggers' detective Charlie Chan first gained popularity through the works of literature. And the aphorisms Biggers borrowed from history's great philosophers helped him achieve worldwide recognition as one of America's first great mystery writers and his fictional detectives one of the most popular of his day.
