#Classic Short Stories

 

Good News: I’ve fallen under the spell of a man, round face blank with surprise, short-sighted in a rusty-black clerical garb.
I loved every mystery and awaited the clairon call of Fr. Brown repeted in every chapter: : “nonsense”. Fr Brown, whose business is to believe in things…. admits he is doubtful, noncommittal,. That makes the stories so enjoyable…the irony of an agnostic priest (…aka the keenest of sleuths).

 

Bad News: Nothing to mention…the book was sheer delight!

 

Personal: I’ve seen Father Brown series on the TV but never stopped to watch it. Now I know what I’ve been missing. These stories have everything: ghosts, secret staircases, concealed weapons, suspect confessing to a crime that never was committed., a clairvoyant dog, Father Brown and some very nice wine….and a string of rosary beads!

    I have enjoyed a lot of the TV episodes – actually on DVDs from my library.
    I really really need to read/listen to them. Thanks for reviewing this collection today
