Description

British writer GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON (1874-1936) expounded prolifically about his wide-ranging philosophies-he is impossible to categorize as 'liberal' or 'conservative,' for instance-across a wide variety of avenues: he was a literary critic, historian, playwright, novelist, columnist, and poet. His witty, humorous style earned him the title of the 'prince of paradox,' and his works-80 books and nearly 4,000 essays-remain among the most beloved in the English language Chesterton is best remembered, perhaps, as a spinner of mystery tales, and for his recurring character of Father Brown. This 1914 collection of stories includes some of the crime-solving priest's greatest cases: . 'The Absence of Mr. Glass' . 'The Paradise of Thieves' . 'The Duel of Dr. Hirsch' . 'The Man in the Passage' . 'The Mistake of the Machine' . 'The Head of Caesar' . 'The Purple Wig' . 'The Perishing of the Pendragons' . 'The God of the Gongs' . 'The Salad of Colonel Gray' . 'The Strange Crime of John Boulnois' . 'The Fairy Tale of Father Brown
