{"product_id":"father-brown-of-the-church-of-rome-selected-mystery-stories","title":"Father Brown of the Church of Rome: Selected Mystery Stories","description":"This is a unique collection of ten of Chesterton's famous Father Brown stories which puts special emphasis on the role that Brown's Catholic faith played in helping him solve the murder mysteries. As Dorothy Sayers once wrote, Chesterton was \"the first man of our time to introduce the great name of God into a detective story … to enlarge the boundaries of the detective story by making it deal with death and real wickedness and real, that is to say, divine judgment.\"\nThis paperback Father Brown edition includes generous footnotes (not available in other editions) which help to clarify the literary and historical allusions made by Father Brown. It is based on the texts of the original editions by Chesterton for assurance of complete authenticity, and is set in easily readable type.\nThese are excellent short detective yarns in the classic British tradition of Sherlock Holmes - puzzling concoctions of mysterious crimes, dubious suspects and ambiguous clues. They are among the very best of the Father Brown stories.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0898709539\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0898709539.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Peterson, John|Chesterton, G.
