Description

In twelve stories, humble Father Brown unravels crimes through insight into guilt and human weakness rather than swagger or gadgets. Chesterton's first Father Brown collection of wit, philosophy, and moral detection. Spoken as when innocence looks soft until it names the sin that made the mystery.

Author

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer, often referred to as the prince of paradox. Chesterton is well known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and for his reasoned apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognized the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton's wit, paradoxical style, and defence of tradition made him a dominant figure in early 20th-century literature.
