who wrote the 'father brown' crime stories
Father Brown Father Brown is a fictional Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective who is featured in 53 short stories published between 1910 and 1936 written by English novelist G. K. Chesterton.[1] Father Brown solves mysteries and crimes using his intuition and keen understanding of human nature. Chesterton loosely based him on the Rt Rev. John Monsignor O'Connor (1870â€“1952), a parish priest in Bradford, who was involved in Chesterton's conversion to Catholicism in 1922.[1]
