About this listen
The shadow of Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes would inevitably fall across much of the crime fiction that followed that most famous of detectives. However, in 1910, G.K Chesterton's unassuming, devout, and unprepossessing Father Brown made his first appearance and proved no less of a fascinating figure who would stands firmly on his own two ecclesiastical feet.
Head Stories presents the first in a series of the complete Father Brown, read by Simon Hester with original music.
Public Domain (P)2021 Head Stories Audio /Simon HesterSo superior is the language & style of G K Chesterton' Father Brown narratives that it can only be brought to life by a superlative performance as done here by Hester and it reduces ACD's Sherlock Holmes to almost a mere young boys adventures. The depth & gravitas of the myriad observations of Life framed subtly by the engaging stories would be lost were it not for the sombre yet slightly ironic & wry nuances of Hester. Frederick Davidson is a worthy second to Hester but the gap between them is wide.
Great writing comes alive...
