G. K. Chesterton

Chesterton's 39 essays result from "sitting still and letting marvels and adventures settle on him like flies." Full of both good sense and nonsense, his commentaries on finding the extraordinary within the ordinary are delightful.

Tremendous Trifles

Chesterton has been called the Prince of Paradox. His works include journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, fantasy and detective stories. Chesterton has great fun satirizing the Victorian sleuths such as Sherlock Holmes . These 39 tales will delight the reader. Chesterton said that these stories just came to him like sitting still and letting them light on him like flies. Some of these tales are just for fun while other are filled with good common sense.
