Description: Gilbert Keith (G.K.) Chesterton, (1874 1936) was an English writer, lay theologian, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, literary and art critic, biographer, and Christian apologist, often referred to as the "prince of paradox." His best known character, Father Brown is an amateur sleuth, created in the early 1900s, and loosely based by Chesterton on Father John O'Connor (1870-1952), a parish priest in Bradford, who was involved in Chesterton's conversion to Catholicism in 1922.Unlike the better known fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown's methods tend to be intuitive rather than deductive. This book includes all the 53 stories (novels and short stories) Chesterton wrote of this character.
