A new selection of the much-loved Father Brown stories, now part of the Penguin English Library

''No man''s really any good till he knows how bad he is, or might be''

With his round, unassuming face, his pipe and umbrella, the bumbling priest Father Brown makes for an improbable detective. Yet his innocent air hides a piercing understanding of the criminal mind, and a boundless knowledge of human nature. This selection brings together some of the best of G. K. Chesterton’s beloved stories, in which we see the clerical sleuth foiling a jewel thief in London, solving a macabre mystery in a Scottish castle and unravelling dark deeds in a sleepy English suburb.

With a beautiful new cover design by award-winning designer Coralie Bickford-Smith and presented in the delightful Penguin English Library series, this new selection brings together the very best of the Father Brown stories, inviting new readers to discover one of the most unforgettable characters in literature.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

G.K. Chesterton

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) nasceu em Londres e frequentou a escola de arte do University College London. Em 1900 foi convidado a contribuir com artigos de crítica de arte, e a partir daí tornou-se um dos escritores mais prolíficos de todos os tempos. Escreveu cerca de uma centena de livros, centenas de poemas, cinco peças de teatro, cinco romances e cerca de 200 contos, muitos dos quais incluem o popular padre detetive, Padre Brown. Ainda assim, considerava-se, antes de mais, jornalista: escreveu mais de 4000 ensaios para jornais e também editou o seu próprio jornal, G.K.’s Weekly. Escrevia com à-vontade nas áreas de crítica literária e social, história, política, economia, filosofia e teologia. É frequentemente chamado de «príncipe do paradoxo».
