Father Brown: The Essential Tales (Modern Library Classics)
- Used Book in Good Condition
G. K. Chestertonâ€™s Father Brown may seem a pleasantly doddering Roman Catholic priest, but appearances deceive. With keen observation and an unerring sense of manâ€™s frailtiesâ€“gained during his years listening to confessionsâ€“Father Brown succeeds in bringing even the most elusive criminals to justice.

This definitive collection of fifteen stories, selected by the American Chesterton Society, includes such classics as â€œThe Blue Cross,â€ â€œThe Secret Garden,â€ and â€œThe Paradise of Thieves.â€ As P. D. James writes in her Introduction, â€œWe read the Father Brown stories for a variety pleasures, including their ingenuity, their wit and intelligence, and for the brilliance of the writing. But they provide more. Chesterton was concerned with the greatest of all problems, the vagaries of the human heart.â€
