About the Author

About The Author
English writer Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936) was a poet, philosopher, journalist, lay theologian, and literary critic often referred to as the "prince of paradox". Time magazine said of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories-first carefully turning them inside out."
Chesterton is well known for his priest-detective Father Brown. George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" according to Time, called him: "a man of colossal genius".
