Description

Unassuming priest Father Brown solves perplexing crimes through insight into human nature, moral wisdom, and gentle humour. Chesterton?s detective collection of intrigue where quiet intellect outpaces swagger. Spoken as when the smallest man in the room already knows why the crime had to happen that way.

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.
