| | Father Brown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Father Brown was the perfect vehicle for conveying Chesterton's view of the world, and of all of his characters, is perhaps closest to Chesterton's own point of view, or at least the effect of his point of view. | | | Father Brown is a short, stumpy Catholic priest, "formerly of Cobhole in Essex, and now working in London," with shapeless clothes and a large umbrella, but an uncanny insight into human evil. | | | Father Brown solves his crimes through a strict reasoning process more concerned with spiritual and philosophic truths rather than scientific details, making him an almost equal counterbalance with Sherlock Holmes, which Chesterton read and admired, the stories of which had been discontinued just a couple years before. |

| | Generally Speaking-V1N7: Father Brown's Hidden Methods |
| | Father Brown quickly and quietly concludes that the hammer was thrown from the rooftop of the church, and he begins to observe the words and behavior of the curate with special attention. | | | Father Brown reaches out and grabs the criminal, a postman, who was walking right past them unnoticed because he was a postman - - a "mentally" invisible man. Brown's evidently superior moral and psychological vision - - his intuition again - - enabled him to see what the others could not. | | | Father Brown immediately perceives that the invisible man can only be the postman who delivers the letters. |

| | Encyclopedia Brown |
| | Encyclopedia Brown invariably solves the case by exposing this inconsistency, but this part of the story is placed at the end of the book; the bulk of the story ends just at the moment when readers are invited to solve the case themselves, or flip to the section in the back with the answers. | | | Encyclopedia Brown is a fictional boy detective, the main character in a long series of children's books written by Donald J. Sobol. | | | The enduring popularity of the Encyclopedia Brown books stems at least partially from the author's refusal to talk down to his audience (which consists primarily of younger readers), as far as leaving clues and puzzle pieces in each short stories. |

| | COLUMN-FATHER BROWN AND COMPANY |
| | The Father Brown stories will be read as long as detective fiction itself is read, perhaps not for the reasons their author proposed but as excursions into the unfamiliar universe of moral and metaphysical allegory. | | | Father Brown, Auden pointed out, is unique as a detective in being able to offer compassion and forgiveness as well as apprehension and punishment. | | | By contrast, glamorous evil, as unmasked by Philo Vance, for example, or metaphysically complex evil, as revealed by Father Brown, appeal precisely to the reader’s fascination with the unfamiliar and improbable. |

| | BrothersJudd.com - Review of Robert Hamer's The Detective (aka: Father Brown) |
| | Father Brown (Guinness) is not just another in the long line of British amateur sleuths who solves crimes as a hobby, he's also a priest, concerned with saving the malefactors' souls. | | | Chesterton's original Father Brown adventures are just short stories, perhaps for good reason--and certain actions of the good Father are difficult to reconcile with his character (like fooling the police into arresting an innocent man). | | | But there's an even grander idea at play here; for Father Brown believes--quite rightly--that his life as a priest, rather than insulating him from the rough and tumble of the "real" world makes him uniquely qualified to understand it and to comprehend the darkest parts of the human heart. |

| | Father Brown had fixed his eyes on the speaker so long and steadily as to prove that his large grey, ox-like eyes were not quite so insignificant as the rest of his face. | | | Father Brown was mounting the first step to follow him when he felt a hand on his shoulder, and turned to behold the dark, thin figure of the doctor, his face darker yet with suspicion. | | | "Well," added Father Brown, with a broad smile, "that fairy tale was the nearest thing to the real truth that has been said today." And with that he turned his back and stumped up the steps after the curate. |
