This Chesterton collection opens with three dedications, including the verse prefaced to The Man Who Was Thursday recalling his boyhood with E. C. Bentley. Then come war poems led by the thundering Lepanto, love poems, ballads, religious verse and comic pieces, all marked by his relish for rhyme and paradox.
Worth it for Lepanto alone, one of the great ballads in English to read aloud. Download the free EPUB.
