The Incredulity of Father Brown is a 1926 collection of mystery short stories by English writer G. K. Chesterton.Set in the early twentieth century, each of the stories centers around the cunning investigations of Father Brown, an amateur detective who uses his incredible intuition to solve a variety of perplexing mysteries.The stories include:- ’The Resurrection of Father Brown’ - ’The Arrow of Heaven’ - ’The Oracle of the Dog’ - ’The Miracle of Moon Crescent’ - ’The Curse of the Golden Cross’ - ’The Dagger with Wings’ - ’The Doom of the Darnaways’ - ’The Ghost of Gideon Wise’ Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English philosopher, theologian, writer, and critic. Born in London in 1874, he studied at the Slade School of Art and began to work as a freelance journalist after graduation. Over the course of his life, his literary output was incredibly diverse and highly prolific, ranging from philosophy and ontology to art criticism and detective fiction. However, he is probably best-remembered for his Christian apologetics, most notably in Orthodoxy (1908) and The Everlasting Man (1925).Read & Co.
