The Adventures of Father Brown

Description

G. K. Chesterton’s short and stumpy priest-detective Father Brown is far more than outward appearances would indicate. Behind his unassuming physical presence and broad-brimmed hat lie a sparkling condition gained through the confessional, Father Brown uses his intuition and empathy to solve even the most difficult of crimes.

This edition includes 18 Father Brown short stories, including ‘the Oracle of the Dog’ and ‘The Man with Two Beards’ and comprises two full collections: The Incredulity of Father Brown and The Secret of Father Brown. A charming, clever, and warm presence, it is easy to see why this amateur detective was an immediate hit and has remained beloved for generations of readers.
