"There were too many stories to count in this. I did get a bit tired of the mental gymnastics of trying to solve mystery after mystery. On the other hand, I love the anti-here, dumpy umbrellas toting Roman Catholic priest based in England. Some of the stories are surprisingly bloodthirsty, too. " — Pam (4 out of 5 stars)

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) was born in London. He went on to study art at the Slade School and literature at University College in London. Chesterton wrote a great deal of poetry, as well as works of social and literary criticism. Among his most notable books are The Man Who Was Thursday, a metaphysical thriller, and The Everlasting Man, a history of humankind’s spiritual progress. After his conversion to Catholicism in 1922, Chesterton wrote mainly on religious topics such as in Orthodoxy and Heretics. He is most known for creating the famous priest-detective character Father Brown, who first appeared in The Innocence of Father Brown.
