The Innocence of Father Brown
by G.K. Chesterton

 

The Innocence of Father Brown was the first collection of G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown stories to be published and is generally considered to be the best. Original, compelling, full of wit and wisdom, it displays some of Chesterton's finest writing: marvellous descriptive scenes of both nature and city life, a dry humour, and, above all, deeply perceptive philosophical reflections.

 

 

The Wisdom of Father Brown
by G.K. Chesterton

Immortalized in these famous stories, G.K. Chesterton's endearing amateur sleuth has entertained countless generations of readers. For, as his admirers know, Father Brown's cherubic face and unworldly simplicity, his glasses and his huge umbrella, disguise a quite uncanny understanding of the criminal mind at work.
