Overview

This handsome hardback anthology with gold and purple foil accents contains 24 short stories featuring priest detective Father Brown.

G. K. Chesterton's fictional amateur detective, the genial Father Brown, was greeted with huge enthusiasm when he first appeared in The Story-Teller magazine in 1910. Depicted with Chesterton's characteristic elegance and wit, this unworldly but perceptive priest-sleuth exercises his formidable powers of intuition and analysis to solve a range of crimes.

Includes:
• 'The Blue Cross

Finding new popularity through its recent exposure on Netflix, Father Brown's crime-solving adventures remain as compelling now as they ever were. This complete and unabridged edition is the perfect companion title to The Adventures of Father Brown.
