A new selection of the much-loved Father Brown stories now part of the Penguin English Library
'No man's really any good till he knows how bad he is or might be' With his round unassuming
face his pipe and umbrella the bumbling priest Father Brown makes for an improbable
detective. Yet his innocent air hides a piercing understanding of the criminal mind and a
boundless knowledge of human nature. This selection brings together some of the best of G. K.

London solving a macabre mystery in a Scottish castle and unravelling dark deeds in a sleepy
English suburb. With a beautiful new cover design by award-winning designer Coralie
Bickford-Smith and presented in the delightful Penguin English Library series this new
selection brings together the very best of the Father Brown stories inviting new readers to
