Synopsis

In this collection, Chesterton the master essayist – and master discursionist – moves easily from the mirthful to the magnificent, observing that poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese, that Futurists don’t know a damn thing, and that England is the only place you can find Weather. He has us watch a neighbor’s house being built to make us better see the mysterious place that is our own house. He brings us to a puppet show where the two great eternal jokes of mankind are repeated: the idea that the poor man ought to get the better of the rich man and the idea that the husband is afraid of the wife.
