Publisher's Synopsis
""It was G. K. Chesterton's life-long fate to be taken seriously when he was being flippant, and flippantly when he was being serious. Since he very seldom was flippant, he was nearly always laughed at, alike by his friends and enemies."" --From Chapter One This introductory statement illustrates the conflicting reality that was G. K. Chesterton. The book further illuminates a Christian revolutionary known to many in his time, a unique character, often misunderstood.
