Chesterton, Fiction, Mystery \u0026 Detective","description":"\u003cp\u003eChesterton portrays Father Brown as a short, stumpy Roman Catholic priest, with shapeless clothes and a large umbrella, and an uncanny insight into human evil. \"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 magazines 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e G.
