The innocence of Father Brown

Summary

G. K. Chesterton's 1911 collection introduces Father Brown, a mild priest who solves crimes by understanding human sin from the inside. A reader finds twelve ingenious, paradoxical stories, including the Blue Cross and the Invisible Man. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
