This volume collects 52 of G.K. Chesterton''s Father''s Brown stories, including the rare story, The Donnington Affair, which is omitted from all Father Brown collections published during the author''s lifetime.

Chesterton loosely based the character on the Rt Rev. Msgr. John O''Connor (1870–1952), a parish priest in Bradford, who was involved in Chesterton''s conversion to Catholicism in 1922.

Includes a biographical introduction by Karl Wurf.

However, the reader will soon discover that it is much more than that. Carried along on the boisterous rush of the narrative by Chesterton’s wonderful high-spirited style, he will soon see that he is being carried into much deeper waters than he had planned on; and the totally unforeseeable denouement will prove for the modern reader, as it has for thousands of others since 1908 when the book was first published, an inevitable and moving experience, as the investigators finally discover who Sunday is.
