About this book

Father Brown, the mild Catholic priest with an unnerving grasp of human wickedness, returns in this 1926 collection of stories. Each puzzle arrives dressed as a miracle or a curse: a man seemingly killed by an ancient god, a dog that appears to name a murderer, a family doom that strikes across generations. Where others see the supernatural, the little priest keeps his head, and his skepticism, the incredulity of the title, cuts through the fear to the plain human motive underneath. Chesterton uses the mysteries to argue that real faith and clear reason are allies, not enemies.

About the author

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English writer, critic, and Christian apologist famous for the Father Brown mysteries and sharp, paradox-loving essays. His playful intelligence made him one of the most quotable authors of his age.
