A "very short Catholic priest" who does "...not seem to know which was the right end of his return ticket," Father Brown is the embodiment of the phrase 'looks can be deceiving.' Arguably the second best-known crime-solver in English literature, this unassuming man of the cloth solves case after case with ease.

A very special set of recordings

Not only is this first set of the Father Brown stories indispensable to any lover of Chesterton (or even detective stories for that matter), but the performance is delightful. I've seen several presentations of the Father Brown material and character, but none captures the spirit of Chesterton and his little English priest as well as John Horton has here.
