G.K. Chesterton
The Innocence of Father Brown
eBook
(Digireads.com Aug. 5, 2014)
Undimmed by the 100 years since its publication, the short story collection The Innocence of Father Brown still speaks to readers of the unmatched genius in G.K. Chesterton’s masterful prose. Indeed, the collection was published in 1911 – before the sinking of the Titanic, before either of the World Wars – yet the stories here, which introduce Chesterton’s most famous character Father Brown, as well as the reformed criminal Flambeau, still contain all the urgency and readability of modern-day novels in this genre. Written with cleverness and an obvious love of language and storytelling, Innocence is a must for mystery fans.
