Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in Campden hill, Kensington on May 29th 1874. Originally after attending St Pauls School he went to Slade to learn the illustrators art and literature. In 1896 he joined a small London publisher and began his journalistic career as a freelance art and literary critic. In 1901 he married Frances Blogg, to whom he remained married for the rest of his life. Thereafter he obtained weekly columns in the Daily News and The Illustrated London News. For many he is known as a very fine novelist and the creator of the Father Brown Detective stories which were much influenced by his own beliefs. A large man – 6’ 42 and 21st in weight he was apt to be forgetful in that delightful way that the British sometimes are – a telegram home to his wife saying he was in one place but where should he actually be. But he was prolific in many other areas; he wrote plays, essays, loved to debate and wrote hundreds of poems. But in this volume we bring you his classic work All Things Considered. Chesterton died of congestive heart failure on 14th June 1936 and is buried in Beaconsfield just outside of London.

I gave this 5 stars for Chesterton's superb writing; however, the format of the softcover book is just terrible. I have no idea what editor gave this the okay, as the formatting is atrocious. Page numbers and chapter names are jumbled in between sentences and paragraphs are cut off mid-sentence. Basically, the original was shoehorned into a word processing document and nobody checked to be sure that the new format worked.I'll do as I did in college and check this out at the library in order to read it again. :/

while extremely dated in many of the political observations, it is quite disturbing how relevant it remains. Chesterton was indeed an intellect touched by the hand of God
Great G. K. Chesterton essays, well worth the read. A truly brilliant mind of truly good man. A Rarity.
Covers a variety of topics with a conversational tone. Very different from the writings of today. I imagine modern readers might dismiss some of his writings as trivial, but his thoughts are as timeless as any mortals.
These essays may have had an impact at the turn of the last century, but are kind of hard to digest in the current state of affairs.
So many other authors owe a huge debt of gratitude to Chesterton. His keen discernment and wisdom are evident on every page of this book. I think I highlighted about 80 passages so I could go back and remember what I learned here.
This was a highly entertaining read. While much of it had to do with the issues of Chesterton's day, his insight into things still applies today.
There were a couple of times he rambled, but I still enjoyed every minute of this book.
Nobody writes like Chesterton. I think one will either love him or hate him. He takes great joy in writing essays on various themes that are intelligent, thoughtful and witty. However, since he was writing to his contemporaries who lived in the late 19th/early 20th century, he often references people or ideas that were well-known at that time but are rather obscure now. I find it amazing that much of what he writes still has relevance today. He is dealing with the same ideas and controversies that we are dealing with today. As the writer of Ecclesiastes state, "There is nothing new under the sun."
I gave this 5 stars for Chesterton's superb writing; however, the format of the softcover book is just terrible. I have no idea what editor gave this the okay, as the formatting is atrocious. Page numbers and chapter names are jumbled in between sentences and paragraphs are cut off mid-sentence.
