"The Crimes of England by G. K. Chesterton: " Publisher: Kindle E-Book Edition: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-139-2 When telling such lies as may seem necessary to your international standing, do not tell the lies to the people who know the truth. Do not tell the Eskimos that snow is bright green; nor tell the negroes in Africa that the sun never shines in that Dark Continent. Rather tell the Eskimos that the sun never shines in Africa; and then, turning to the tropical Africans, see if they will believe that snow is green. Similarly, the course indicated for you is to slander the...

"The Man Who Knew Too Much by G. K. Chesterton: " Publisher: Kindle E-Book Edition: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-085-2 Harold March, the rising reviewer and social critic, was walking vigorously across a great tableland of moors and commons, the horizon of which was fringed with the far-off woods of the famous estate of Torwood Park. He was a good-looking young man in tweeds, with very pale curly hair and pale clear eyes. Walking in wind and sun in the very landscape of liberty, he was still young enough to remember his politics and not merely try to forget them. For his errand at...

"The Wisdom of Father Brown by G. K. Chesterton: " Publisher: Kindle E-Book Edition: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-097-5 This is the second book of short stories about G. K. Chesterton's fictional detective. Father Brown is a short, nondescript Catholic Priest with shapeless clothes and a large umbrella who has an uncanny insight into human evil. His methods, unlike those of his near contemporary Sherlock Holmes, although based on observation of details often unnoticed by others, tended to be intuitive rather than deductive. Although clearly devout, he always emphasizes rationality:...

"The Trees of Pride by G. K. Chesterton: " Publisher: Kindle E-Book Edition: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-091-3 In this mystery novella, G. K. Chesterton does what he does best-spins a tale of intrigue and suspense, strewn with philosophical and theological commentary. The story revolves around Squire Vane, who has imported three "peacock trees," which, according to the locals, spread disease and eat people.

It was in the season of Christmas that I came out of my little garden in that "field of the beeches" between the Chilterns and the Thames, and began to walk backwards through history to the place from which Christmas came. For it is often necessary to walk backwards, as a man on the wrong road goes back to a sign-post to find the right road. The modern man is more like a traveller who has forgotten the name of his destination, and has to go back whence he came, even to find out where he is going. That the world has lost its way few will now deny; and it did seem to me that I found at last a...

"The Napoleon of Notting Hill by G. K. Chesterton: " Publisher: Kindle E-Book Edition: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-112-5 It will be very reasonably asked why I should consent, though upon a sort of challenge, to write even a popular essay in English history, who make no pretence to particular scholarship and am merely a member of the public. The answer is that I know just enough to know one thing: that a history from the standpoint of a member of the public has not been written. What we call the popular histories should rather be called the anti-popular histories. They are all, nearly...
