G.K. Chesterton

Date of publication: 1922

The Man Who Knew Too Much is a collection of detective stories written by G. K. Chesterton and published by Cassel & Co in Great Britain in 1922. The book brings together twelve short stories in the British edition. The first eight stories speak about the detective called the "Man who knew too much," and the other four stories are independent of the previous ones. But all they keep the same style and format. Therefore, the stories do not have a chronological order, and readers can read them in the order they prefer.

G. K. Chesterton was a British writer and journalist of the early twentieth century. Furthermore, he received the name of "prince of paradoxes." The most famous character in their stories is Father Brown, a Catholic priest. He has a tremendous psychological perception that helps him be a good detective. Indeed, Father Brown appears in more than fifty stories.

Chesterton's most notable books are The Napoleon of Notting Hill and The Man Who Was Thursday.
