Classic fiction (pre c 1945)

Hardcover. Chesterton wrote some of the best nonsense and satirical verse in the language. In this book, the main bias of the selection, however, will be towards Chesterton's non-fictional prose, where, the author argues, his real greatness lies. It includes Father Brown detective stories, and a range of poetry, serious and light-hearted. Editor(s): Ker, Ian. Num Pages: 952 pages. BIC Classification: FC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade).
