Title: Favorite Father Brown Stories
Description: Critic, author, and debunker extraordinaire, G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) delighted in probing the ambiguities of Christian theology. A number of his most successful attempts at combining first-rate fiction with acute social observation appear in this original selection from his best detective stories featuring the priest-sleuth Father Brown.

A Chestertonian version of Sherlock Holmes, this little cleric from Essex...with: "a face as round and dull as a Norfolk dumpling" and "eyes as empty as the North Sea"...appears in six suspenseful, well-plotted tales: **"The Blue Cross," "The Sins of Prince Saradine," "The Sign of the Broken Sword," "The Man in the Passage," "The Perishing of the Pendragons," and "The Salad of Colonel Cray."** An essential item in any mystery collection, these delightful works offer a particular treat for lovers of vintage detective stories and will engage any reader. ***--Back Cover***
