These stories were okay. I think maybe I was spoiled by the BBC show, Father Brown. I was expecting all his side kicks, and there weren't any. Of the 6 stories in this collection, I enjoyed 5 of them, not really able to keep my mind on "The Sign of the Broken Sword." I would try some more Father Brown stories though wishing they were more like the tv show.

Clever little stories, but some are not ones the reader might be able to solve with the clues given, for Father Brown knows things the reader often does not and he does not divulge them until the end. Chesterton spends a good deal of time on scenery and personal characteristics, bringing the place and people to life.

I just love these classics. It been almost 2 decades since I first read them, and they are so whimsical and, well, English. I'm glad I found them again. It's the perfect time to introduce them to my mystery-loving teenage son.
