No paywall, no account, no password. https://nocturnaltalespodcast.com A shorter case to close the week, and Father Brown returns for the first time since August. The village of Bohun Beacon is perched on a hill so steep that its church spire looks like a mountain peak, with a smithy at the church's foot and an inn across the road. At dawn, two brothers meet in the street — one on his way to prayer, the other still in evening dress from the night before, and glad the blacksmith is away from home. ℹ️ FOR LISTENERS This is a complete, unabridged reading of The Hammer of God by G. K. Chesterton, from The Innocence of Father Brown (1911), now in the public domain. Every word is the author's own.
