The Innocence Of Father Brown [Paperback]

How in Tartarus, cried Flambeau, did you ever hear of the spiked bracelet? -- Oh, one's little flock, you know! said Father Brown, arching his eyebrows rather blankly. When I was a curate in Hartlepool, there were three of them with spiked bracelets. * Not long after he published _Orthodoxy,_ G. K. Chesterton moved from London to Beaconsfield, and met Father O'Connor. O'Connor had a shrewd insight to the darker side of man's nature, and a mild appearance to go with it -- and together those came together to become Chesterton's unassuming Father Brown. Chesterton loved the character, and the magazones he wrote for loved the stories. _The Innocence of Father Brown_ was the first collection of them, and it's a great lot of fun. Father Brown is a direct challenge to the conventional detective and in many ways he is more amusing and ingenious. -- Saturday Review
