G. K. Chesterton´s fictional amateur detective, the genial Father Brown, was greeted with huge enthusiasm when he first appeared in The Story-Teller magazine in 1910. Depicted with Chesterton´s characteristic elegance and wit, this unworldly but perceptive priest-sleuth soon became a major figure in the world of whodunit fiction and continues to charm readers today.
This handsome hardback anthology contains 24 Father Brown short stories, including ´The Blue Cross´, ´The Secret Garden´, ´The Wrong Shape´, and ´The Three Tools of Death´, in which the unassuming Father exercises his formidable powers of intuition and analysis to solve a range of crimes.
