| Notes: | The Innocence of Father Brown is the first book of G.K. Chesterton's ingenious, thoughtful and lyrically-written mysteries featuring the unassuming little priest who solves crimes by imagining himself inside the mind and soul of the criminal and understanding his motives. The stories are full of paradox, spiritual insight and Chesterton’s ability to see the extraordinary in the ordinary.
