Originally published in 1911, The Innocence of Father Brown is the first of five official collections of short stories focused on the crime-solving Roman Catholic.He is an endearing character often compared to another famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.

Father Brown is a devout Roman Catholic priest who has a penchant for detective work. He first appears in the short story, "The Blue Cross," which was previously published in 1910 in the Saturday Evening Post. Father Brown stumbles across unusual cases that require his distinct reasoning and deduction skills. He's often described as a short man with a stocky figure who can see into the heart of evil. His first outing, The Innocence of Father Brown, features 12 stories including "The Hammer of God," "The Invisible Man" and "The Sins of Prince Saradine."

The Innocence of Father Brown is the inaugural edition of G.K. Chesterton's delightful detective series. It consists of many famous cases and characters including frequent collaborator, Hercule Flambeau.
