About the book

‘It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see the problem.’ Published in 1911, The Innocence of Father Brown is the first collection of short stories featuring one of G.K. Chesterton’s most iconic characters: amateur detective, and devout Catholic, Father Brown. Father Brown, a modest, mild-mannered priest with a sharp intellect and even sharper sense of the human condition, is thrown into a series of mysteries which often baffle both his peers and the authorities. Despite his humble appearance, Father Brown can easily detect falsehoods, see through disguises and defy tampered logic to get to the truth. From cases of theft, fraud and murders with no apparent weapon, Brown remains calm in the face of evil time and time again, utilising compassion, empathy and keen intuition.
