About the author

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic.

He was educated at St. Paul’s, and went to art school at University College London. In 1900, he was asked to contribute a few magazine articles on art criticism, and went on to become one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote a hundred books, contributions to 200 more, hundreds of poems, including the epic Ballad of the White Horse, five plays, five novels, and some two hundred short stories, including a popular series featuring the priest-detective, Father Brown. In spite of his literary accomplishments, he considered himself primarily a journalist. He wrote over 4000 newspaper essays, including 30 years worth of weekly columns for the Illustrated London News, and 13 years of weekly columns for the Daily News. He also edited his own newspaper, G.K.’s Weekly.

Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism, history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology.

[L.D. Stewart-Author · Rating 5 out of 5]

My book contained 24 Father Brown stories, and truly every one of them was riveting to read. So many times, I laughed out loud and other times when I was interrupted, I jumped from the scene I was in in the book at the moment. I have watched the television series and found the books to be so much more interesting, and I have loved the show. I was interested in reading G.K. Chesterson from the show actually. Flambeau, a masterfully executed 'Watson' for Father Brown. He grabs you from the first story, 'The Blue Cross.' I actually chuckle thinking about the writing style and humor layered in by Chesterson, with the crafty Father Brown. 'The Honour of Israel Gow,' The Sins of Prince Sardine,' 'The Hammer of God,' 'The Purple Wig,' 'The Salad of Colonel Cray,' I could go on and on with favorites from this series and honestly will read this book again and be very happy about it! There is a great series of episodes on YouTube from the 1990's I believe, that are amazingly captivating from some of these stories.

Well told stories about a pastor that solved murders. Similar to Sherlock Holmes, but there tends to be more psychological analysis, versus forensic analysis, involved.
