La Sabiduría del Padre Brown" es un libro que nos presenta a el singular Padre de apellido Brown. Este curita es un personaje de ficción creado por el novelista inglés G.K. Chesterton. Es el protagonista de unas cincuenta historias cortas recopiladas posteriormente en cinco libros. Para crear este personaje Chesterton se insipiró en el padr John O´ Connor, cuyo párroco de Bradford, Yorkshire, quien estuvo relacionado con la conversación al catolicismo de Chesterton en 1922. Esta es una breve narración y cronología de aventuras que se encuentran inmersas en el mundo policíaco y de espionaje. Ahora bien, cuando escucha la palabra espionaje, se imagina a un fornido y misterioso detective como protagonista. Sin embargo; en esta original historia, el autor del libro sorprende al público lector con un sacerdote algo gordinflón pero muy acertado en sus hipótesis como personaje principal.
