G. K. Chesterton

The Innocence of Father Brown G. K. Chesterton

The Innocence of Father Brown is the first book of G. K. Chesterton's ingenious, thoughtful, and lyrically written mystery stories featuring the unassuming little priest who solves crimes by imagining himself inside the mind and soul of criminals, thus understanding their motives. The stories are full of paradox, spiritual insight, and "Chestertonian fantasy," or seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. In this sterling collection, widely considered the author?s best, the beloved detective solves twelve of his most puzzling cases, including The Blue Cross, The Hammer of God, The Eye of Apollo, and nine more. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
