Brown is a fictional character created by the English novelist G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936). He is the protagonist of about fifty short stories subsequently collected in five books. To create this character, Chesterton was inspired by Father John O'Connor (1870-1952), priest of Bradford, Yorkshire, who was related to the conversion to Catholicism of Chesterton in 1922. O'Connor himself recorded this link in his 1937 book Father Brown on Chesterton.
