GoodBookStall Review:
G.K. Chesterton is best known as a writer of satirical verse and of detective stories. Ian Ker presents him in a new light. He emphasises the formidable defender of Christian values; the champion of 'ordinary' people against the power of the establishment. Chesterton is one of the least known and most remarkable figures of the mid twentieth century. Those for whom Ker’s biography is their first introduction will warm to the humanity of a great Christian. Those who already know and love Chesterton will not be disappointed.
