Shabby and lumbering, with a face like a Norfolk dumpling, Father Brown makes for an improbable super-sleuth.

The Innocence of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 1, The Wisdom of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 13.

"The Flying Stars" is one of Chesterton's mysteries featuring Father Brown. It's actually the first of these short stories I've read and I picked it up more because it's a Christmas mystery than to meet Father Brown, even though he is a character I'd like to read more of. The story takes place at an English manor home on Boxing Day. A young lady and the young man who lives next door are present, as is the girl's father, Colonel Adams, a newly arrived uncle and a quite rich godfather.

The story takes place at an English manor home on Boxing Day. A young lady and the young man who lives next door are present, as is the girl's father, Colonel Adams, a newly arrived uncle and a quite rich godfather. Also present, in addition to the servants, simply because the Colonel likes his company is the local priest, Father Brown. The godfather has brought a gift for the young lady, a set of three gorgeous, large diamonds, which he has tucked away in his coat pocket.

In "The Incredulity of Father Brown," G.K. Chesterton treats us to another set of bizarre crimes that only his "stumpy" Roman Catholic prelate has the wisdom and mindset to solve. As usual, Chesterton loves playing with early twentieth-century class distinctions, "common-sense" assumptions, and the often anti-Catholic biases of his characters. He loves showing, through his characters, how those who hold themselves superior to the "fantasies" of Brown's Catholic faith themselves devolve into superstitious blithering when faced with the tiniest of mysteries.

The Innocence of Father Brown is the first collection of short stories featuring G.K. Chesterton's beloved detective, Father Brown, a humble and unassuming Catholic priest with a sharp mind for solving mysteries. Unlike the typical detectives of his time, Father Brown relies on his deep understanding of human nature, morality, and logic to unravel even the most perplexing cases. This complete collection includes classic stories such as The Blue Cross, where Father Brown first crosses paths with the brilliant thief Flambeau, and The Secret Garden, a dark and puzzling murder mystery.

“My last crime was a Christmas crime, a cheery, cozy, English middle-class crime; a crime of Charles Dickens. I did it in a good old middle-class house, a house with a crescent of carriage drive, a house with a stable by the side of it, a house with the name on the two outer gates, a house with a monkey tree. Enough, you know the species.” How does Father Brown solve the theft of three gorgeous, large diamonds by a boastful thief?

El conjunto de los relatos del padre Brown, escrito a lo largo de más de veinte años, constituye quizá la obra más popular de Chesterton. El simpático cura-detective que los protagoniza resuelve en ellos, armado únicamente con su paraguas, su inocencia y su sabiduría, intrincados casos gracias a un conocimiento sencillo a la par que profundo de la naturaleza humana.
