About the Author - British author Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) was an English writer, lay theologian, poet, philosopher, and biographer. Chesterton is well known for his priest-detective Father Brown. Time magazine had this to say about the British author: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out."
