The Incredulity of Father Brown

In The Incredibility of Father Brown, G.C. Chesterton puts us in another series of bizarre crimes that only the "stingy" Roman Catholic bishop must solve. As always, Chesterton likes to play with the class differences, assumptions of "common sense" and the often anti-Catholic prejudices of his characters of the early twentieth century. With his characters, he likes to show how those who consider themselves superior to the "fantasies" of Brown's Catholic faith turn into superstitious happiness when confronted with the slightest mysteries. In this collection, Brown finds himself the main event at his own funeral (Father Brown's Resurrection), contemplates the possibility of death from heaven (Arrows of Heaven), penetrates the mystery of the dog's "prophetic" behavior (the dog's oracle), and faces a curse hanging about the medieval tomb (Curse of the Golden Cross). A collection of wonderful tales from one of the best British mystery writers. Includes the following 8 stories: Resurrection of Father Brown Arrow Celestial Oracle dog Miracle of the Crescent of the Golden Cross Dagger Apocalypse of the winged Darnaways Ghost of Wise Gideon
