Tags: Classic, Detective, Mystery, Adults
Chesterton portrays Father Brown as a short, stumpy Roman Catholic priest, with shapeless clothes and a large umbrella, and an uncanny insight into human evil. How in Tartarus, cried Flambeau, did you ever hear of the spiked bracelet? Oh, ones little flock, you know! said Father Brown, arching his eyebrows rather blankly. When I was a curate in Hartlepool, there were three of them with spiked bracelets. Not long after he published Orthodoxy, G. K. Chesterton moved from London to Beaconsfield, and met Father OConnor. OConnor had a shrewd insight to the darker side of mans nature and a mild appearance to go with itand together those came together to become Chestertons unassuming Father Brown. Chesterton loved the character, and the magazines he wrote for loved the stories. The Innocence of Father Brown was the first collection of them, and its a great lot of fun., This torrent includes both Volumes 1 and 2 of The Innocence of Father Brown narrated by David Timson
