Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by John Everett Millais, William Hogarth and Théodore Ralli. Essays on whatever caught him - detective stories, lamp-posts, Tennyson and Meredith, the Irish, the Japanese, Christian Science and the lawlessness of lawyers. Chesterton is unarguable in this length and knows it. This edition is bound with 58 plates of painting, among them works by Hogarth, Burne-Jones and Leighton, and includes the translator's text.
