Daniel Fusfeld's The Age of the Economist, 8th Ed. (Addison-Wesley, 
1999) may suffice.  It's of a similar genre.  It is considerably shorter 
than Literate Economist.   E.K. Hunt's Property and Profits, 7th Ed. 
(HarperCollins, 1995) is worth examining--assuming it is still in 
print.  Heilbroner's Teachings from the Worldly Philosophy (Norton, 
1996) is a great collection of excerpts from original sources.  I assume 
you have contemplated Heilbroner's Worldly Philosophers. 
 
As for HET texts proper, I think Brue's The Evolution of Economic 
Thought, 5th Ed. (Dryden, 1994) and Colander and Landreth's History of 
Economic Thought (Houghton-Mifflin, 1994) are the most approachable for 
students with limited background in econ.
