Not his best, but still witty and common-sensical Chesterton. If you are looking for mysteries, Father Brown is better, but I don't know anyone who reads even those for the sake of their being mysteries. One reads Chesterton to be instructed in what it means to have plain-old Christian common sense, and, remarkably, to be entertained thoroughly at the same time. Chesterton teaches you like Sunday School, but you feel like you were just at recess. His descriptions of characters and place are vivid as ever here, and I will have some of them floating in the back of my mind for years to come. The best thing of all is that there are so many more Chesterton's to go!
