Quirky, affable, Father Brown made his first appearance in the short story "The Blue Cross" in 1910. The Innocence of Father Brown (1911) collects this story and eleven others in what is the first of five Father Brown volumes. Chesterton describes his unlikely crack detective as a short, stumpy Roman Catholic priest, with shapeless clothes, a large umbrella, and an uncanny insight into the criminal mind. Characteristically humble and usually rather quiet, except to say something profound, Father Brown relies more on intuition than deduction to solve mysteries, often assisted by the reformed criminal M. Hercule Flambeau. Chesterton''s wildly popular Father Brown stories-which he continued to write until his death in 1936-are among the most beloved of the detective fiction genre.

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».
