Description
Detective fans of all races and creeds, of all tastes and fancies will delight in the exploits of this wise and whimsical padre. Father Brown's powers of detection allow him to sit beside the immortal Holmes, but he is also in all senses a most pleasantly fascinating human being, according to American crime novelist Rufus King. You will be enchanted by the scandalously innocent man of the cloth, with his handy umbrella, who exhibits such uncanny insight into ingeniously tricky human problems.This collection of twelve mysteries solved by Father Brown includes: The Blue Cross, The Secret Garden, 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 Sign of the Broken Sword, and The Three Tools of Death.

Both are British authors who write insightful, eloquent, and accessible books defending traditional Christian beliefs and explaining how they fit into ordinary lives. Their spiritual treatises also contain some of the whimsy and imagination found in their fiction, though G. K. Chesterton's work has more witty and combative elements. -- Derek Keyser
