Chesterton moves with characteristic verve between faith and scepticism, the ordinary and the extraordinary, the pleasures of storytelling and the serious business of ideas. For readers who know him through a single book, this volume offers a richer sense of his range; for those already devoted to his work, it is an inviting library in miniature, alive with the exuberance, generosity and intellectual mischief of a singular literary spirit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“There are two ways of getting home; and one of them is to stay there.
