G[ilbert] K[eith] Chesterton was one of the most prolific writers who has ever lived,and the present selection from his writings has been taken from his journalistic work that has never been reprinted.Nearly all of it will be new even to those who know him best as an author.Mr Maycock has worked systematically through the files of newspapers and periodicals for which Chesterton wrote and has been allowed to use the great collection of Chestertoniana in the possession of Miss Dorothy Collins. The passages chosen contain many jewels of Chesterton's characteristic wit and wisdom,and have been arranged to illustrate,in an ordered outline,some of the most significant ideas that Chesterton believed and taught.
In his long introductory essay Mr Maycock reviews Chesterton's achievement under two particular aspects,as a journalist and as a Christian apologist.
