CHESTERTON GILBERT KEITH THE COMPLETE FATHER BR...

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936) studied art at Slade School and literature at University
College London before ending his studies early without qualifications. From 1900 he worked his
way to become a freelance art and literary critic then a regular columnist and later a prolific
writer (he has many essays  poems  short stories  novels and plays to his name). Forty eight of
the Father Brown short stories first appeared in various  now unknown  magazines and were later
collected into five books: The Innocence of Father Brown   published in 1911  The Wisdom of
Father Brown   published in 1914  The Incredulity of Father Brown   published in 1926  The
Secrets of Father Brown   published in 1927  and The Scandal of Father Brown   published in
1935. This edition also includes 'The Doddington Affair'  the first half of which was published
in Premier Magazines in 1914 with the challenge to G. K. Chesterton to finish and solve the
mystery. He did so in the following issue. 'The Vampire of the Village'  which also appears in
this edition under The Scandal of Father Brown   was first published in 1936.
