Father Brown is a fictional character created by the English novelist G.K.Chesterton[1874-1936]. Father Brown stared in 52 short stories. Later these were compiled into five books. Chesterton based this character on Father John O'Connor [1870-1952], a parish priest in Bradford who was involved in Chesterton's conversion to Catholicism in 1922.
Father Brown was a short, stumpy Cathilic priest with shapeless clothes and a large umbrella. He had an uncanny insight into human evil. He made his first apperance in the story The Blue Cross and continued through the 5 volumes of short stories. He was assisted by the reformed criminal Flambeau. Unlike Serlock Homes, Father Brown followed a method that was intutive rather than deductive.
Father Brown was the perfect vehicle for conveying Chesterton's view of the world Hence all the characters were close to Chestorton's heart as they were all giving or mouthing his point of view.
