G. K. CHESTERTON:

This is Chesterton's output in the mystery genre, with year of publication, alternate titles (if any), Swedish titles, and the detective of the story. Some short stories collections were only published well after Chesterton's death (nos. 15-18). Nos. 19-21 are short stories that have not been collected yet, as far as I know.
