The Innocence of Father Brown: Green Popular Penguins

Description

The Innocence of Father Brown is the first collection of stories starring Father Brown, a short, stumpy Catholic priest with shapeless clothes and a large umbrella, and uncanny insight into human evil.

Father Brown may be a kindly cleric, but his bumbling nature disguises a sharp detective mind to rival Sherlock Holmes. He uses his experiences as a priest and confessor to put himself into the mind of the criminal to solve each mystery and catch the perpetrators.
