Publisher's Summary

The Innocence of Father Brown is a mystery novel which is written by the English novelist G.K. Chesterton. Father Brown is a fictional Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective who appears in 53 short stories by Sir Chesterton that were published between 1910 and 1936. This main character played by Chesterton is a dumpy, bigoted, narrow-minded, but ultimately smart priest, who goes around solving mysteries that flummox everyone. Father Brown uses his intuition and in-depth knowledge of human nature to solve puzzles and murders.

Father Brown, as he is referred to by Chesterton, is a short, stumpy Roman Catholic priest with shapeless clothing, a big umbrella, and a perplexing understanding of human wickedness. The stories are utterly, unashamedly absurd, not too taxing, and fantastic fun to follow.

As always, Sir Chesterton has never disappointed his listeners in the Father Brown series that makes this book also into a marvelous one!
