Description
Father Brown, one of the most quirkily genial and lovable characters to emerge from English detective fiction, first made his appearance in The Innocence of Father Brown in 1911. That first collection of stories established G.K. Chesterton's kindly cleric in the front rank of eccentric sleuths. This complete collection contains all the favourite Father Brown stories, showing a quiet wit and compassion that has endeared him to many, whilst solving his mysteries by a mixture of imagination and a sympathetic worldliness in a totally believable manner. Stories include: The Blue Cross The Queer Feet The Flying Stars The Invisible Man The Honour of Israel Gow The Wrong Shape The Sins of Prince Saradine The Hammer of God The Eye of Apollo The Absence of Mr Glass and many more... AUTHOR: Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English writer, critic, playwright, historian and theologian. From his massive output of work, he is now remembered principally for his fifty-two short stories of Father Brown, the cleric turned detective.
