This is Chesterton's first collection of Father Brown stories. Although they are listed as "chapters," each is really a standalone story.
HarryT has done an excellent job with his
Father Brown Omnibus, which also contains these stories, but this a shorter introduction for a new Father Brown reader.
The collection includes:
- Chapter 1: The Blue Cross
- Chapter 2: The Secret Garden
- Chapter 3: The Queer Feet
- Chapter 4: The Flying Stars
- Chapter 5: The Invisible Man
- Chapter 6: The Honour of Israel Gow
- Chapter 7: The Wrong Shape
- Chapter 8: The Sins of Prince Saradine
- Chapter 9: The Hammer of God
- Chapter 10: The Eye of Apollo
- Chapter 11: The Sign of the Broken Sword
- Chapter 12: The Three Tools of Death
Feel free to post/PM me with corrections (of course), but I'll be away from a computer for a few weeks, so it may take me a while to get back to you.
(This is the last book in my orgy of posting today! Obviously, I needed to prepare some reading material for my time away from e-mail.)
