The Innocence of Father Brown
α’αααΈααααα βααΆααα‘ααααα
A fictional priest and amateur detective named Father Brown had a face once described βas round and dull as a Norfolk dumpling.β This made him appear somewhat clumsy and naΓ―ve, but that didnβt take into account his keen understanding of human nature and exceptional intuition. English writer G. K. Chesterton created the character, writing fifty-three short stories over the years and gaining widespread popularity, later on TV as well. All of the stories youβre about to hear were originally printed in the Saturday Evening Post magazine, with the first in 1910. Those tales are as follows:
βThe Blue CrossββThe Secret GardenββThe Queer FeetββThe Flying StarsββThe Invisible ManββThe Honour of Israel GowββThe Wrong ShapeββThe Sins of Prince SaradineββThe Hammer of GodββThe Eye of ApolloββThe Sign of the Broken SwordββThe Three Tools of Deathβ

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874β1936) published numerous works which include compilations of his voluminous journalism, novels, biographies, histories, criticism, Christian apologetics, poetry, and plays. Many of his novels have the genuine marks of genius. His books on Dickens (for whom he had a considerable affinity) and Saint Thomas Aquinas are considered classics in their fields.
