Kate’s 2¢: “The Penguin complete Father Brown” by Gilbert Keith Chesterton

“The Penguin complete Father Brown” by Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as, describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read. I’m just saying…

It took me a long time to read this lengthy book from cover to cover. Once I finished a story, I thought about it and tried to come up with how Father Brown came to his conclusion(s). I’d go back to the beginning of the story to find what I’d missed. However, more often than not, the needed clues for an informed decision, weren’t in the narrative. There was no way you could come up with the solution until Father Brown filled in the missing clues.
Still, I enjoyed matching wits with Chesterton.

From the WEB:
Gilbert Keith Chesterton, KC*SG (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936), was an English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic. He has been referred to as the “prince of paradox “.
Chesterton was born in Campden Hill in Kensington, London, the son of Marie Louise, née Grosjean, and Edward Chesterton. He was baptised at the age of one month into the Church of England, though his family themselves were irregularly practising Unitarians. According to his autobiography, as a young man he became fascinated with the occult and, along with his brother Cecil, experimented with Ouija boards.
Chesterton was educated at St Paul’s School, then attended the Slade School of Artto become an illustrator.
