The Best of Father Brown

This Halcyon Classics ebook contains twenty-four Father Brown stories written by British author, philosopher, and Christian apologist G.K. Chesterton. Chesterton (1874-1936) wrote a number of influential religious works, including THE EVERLASTING MAN and ORTHODOXY, and was also an accomplished fiction writer. Father Brown is a fictional Catholic priest who uses intuition and his insights into human evil to solve mysteries. Father Brown is characteristically humble, and is usually rather quiet, but when he does talk, he almost always says something profound. Although he tends to handle crimes with a steady, realistic approach, he believes in the supernatural as the greatest reason of all.This ebook is DRM free and includes an active table of contents for easy navigation.The Blue CrossThe Secret GardenThe Queer FeetThe Flying StarsThe Invisible ManThe Honour of Israel GowThe Wrong ShapeThe Sins of Prince SaradineThe Hammer of GodThe Eye of ApolloThe Sign of the Broken SwordThe Three Tools of DeathThe Absence of Mr GlassThe Paradise of ThievesThe Duel of Dr HirschThe Man in the PassageThe Mistake of the MachineThe Head of CaesarThe Purple WigThe Perishing of the PendragonsThe God of the GongsThe Salad of Colonel CrayThe Strange Crime of John BoulnoisThe Fairy Tale of Father BrownThis unexpurgated edition contains the complete text, with minor errors and omissions corrected.
