Another collection of G.K. Chesterton's ingenious, thoughtful, and lyrically written
mystery stories featuring the unassuming little priest who solves crimes by imagining
himself inside the mind and soul of criminals, thus understanding their motives. The
stories are full of paradox, spiritual insight, and "Chestertonian fantasy," or seeing
the extraordinary in the ordinary. In the title story, a beautiful (and married) rich
woman has taken up with a distinguished poet--and Father Brown, rather than reacting
as expected, appears to be providing assistance. Also includes The Quick One, The
Blast of the Book, The Green Man, The Pursuit of Mr Blue, The Crime of the Communist,
The Point of a Pin, The Insoluble Problem, and The Vampire of the Village. Newly
designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
