Chesterton's 39 short essays are the result, he says, of "sitting still and letting marvels and adventures settle on him like flies." Actually, he does move around ― Germany, France, and on foot in England when he tires of waiting for a train. Full of both good sense and nonsense, his commentaries remain an absolute delight.

Widely known as the "Prince of Paradox," G. K. Chesterton was one of the most influential English writers and thinkers of the 20th century. Chesterton's prodigious talents embraced a wide range of subjects, from philosophy and religion to detective fiction and fantasy. And while his writings are light and whimsical, they are filled with direct and honest truths.
