Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) was an English author, theologian, philosopher and critic, who produced a wide-ranging output of fiction, poetry and journalism. His writing covered a wide variety of subjects, ranging from crime fiction to Christianity. His most famous novel is probably the "metaphysical thriller" 'The Man Who Was Thursday' (1908), but his most famous fictional creation is surely Father Brown, the Catholic priest-detective who featured in more than 50 short stories published episodically between 1910 and 1936. A complete contrast to his (near) contemporary Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown is quiet, unassuming and solves crimes with instinct, intuition and a deep understanding of human nature.

'The Secret Garden' reintroduces the character of Valentin, chief of the Paris police, who featured in the first Father Brown story, 'The Blue Cross'. It was first published in the October 1910 issue of The Story-Teller magazine, and the following year as the second story in 'The Innocence of Father Brown', the first of several books which comprise the Father Brown series.
