Absolutely loving these Father Brown tales. They bring back memories of listening to tapes in my Dad's car during long journeys.

Thank you so much, sir, for reading Father Brown. I had not read Father Brown stories at all and my habit is always to read the story first and then listen to your narrations. So now I have started enjoying Father Brown stories by Mr. Chesterton! Wonderful narrations as usual. 🙏

Oh, Magpie Audio, your vocalization & tone just calms my mind the moment you begin. I am so grateful that you have been able to return to your original & completely SUCCESSFUL as is style. Those, who’ve listened to your channel for awhile, those who came for Sir A.C. Doyle, will surely also agree. It was SHAMEFUL how you were treated, & I’m grateful you courageously, & with commitment continued to “find the way to navigate forward”. Your contribution is like no other! Thank you, dearly.

Yes. Rather bleak and dark. The Broads have a strange atmosphere in themselves.

I enjoy the fact that Chesterton did his homework. Fairies were called "the fair folk" because it was dangerous to anger them and they had terrible tempers and could do humans much harm. Modern interpretations of fairies being all nice and floofy stems from this practice, but is mistaken in that we now *believe* fairies to have been nice beings, whereas in the past (in folklore) we simply *pretended* that fairies were nice beings so that we wouldn't incur their wrath. This is how fairies were perceived in Irish folklore, but in American culture, we simply adopted a corrupted version of the tradition, which seems wrong to me.

I have also just now realized that this story has a swordfight that is based about "You killed my father. Prepare to die." Absolutely splendid.

This was such a sad story about wasted lives, and only detailing how men were involved.

I love how well you speak in different acents. Can you do/read James Herriot's books (All Creatures Great and Small, etc)? You will really bring James, Tristan and Siegfried to live.

When you are done with GK Chesterton, might you maybe consider: {The House and The Brain} Edward Bulwer-Lytton?

It is a shame that the true villain of this story, the woman who cheated on her husband and abandoned her son, didn’t find a sword in her heart or her neck in the hangman’s noose. ACD forever presents female characters who suffer no consequences for their evil and male characters suffer as cuckolds and simps. Masterful reading of the work though and much appreciated.
