- G K Chesterton has been described as one of the most unjustly neglected writers of our time. Born in 1874 -when Kensington still formed part of Middlesex-, he became a journalist and later began writing books and pamphlets. His work includes novels, literary and social criticism, political papers and spiritual essays in a style characterised by enormous wit, paradox, humility and wonder. He converted to Catholicism in 1922 and he explores the nature of spirituality in many of his books and essays, including the mighty Orthodoxy.Chesterton created the fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and wrote on apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognised the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian, and came to identify this position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Catholicism from High Church Anglicanism. Biographers have identified him as a successor to such Victorian authors as Matthew Arnold, Thomas Carlyle, Cardinal John Henry Newman, and John Ruskin. On his contributions, T. S. Eliot wrote,
He was importantly and consistently on the side of the angels. Behind the Johnsonian fancy-dress, so reassuring to the British public, he concealed the most serious and revolutionary designs—concealing them by exposure ... Chesterton's social and economic ideas...were fundamentally Christian and Catholic. He did more, I think, than any man of his time—and was able to do more than anyone else, because of his particular background, development and abilities as a public performer—to maintain the existence of the important minority in the modern world. He leaves behind a permanent claim upon our loyalty, to see that the work that he did in his time is continued in ours.

Själva historierna är också en smula knepiga; själva mysteriet får ofta anstå en bit in i novellerna, och upplösningarna är inte alltid helt renhåriga då de ibland bygger på saker som bara Brown sett, eller också dyker mördaren upp först sent i berättelsen. Sånt gör att i alla fall jag lätt förlorar intresset, för anledningen till att jag läser detektivhistorier är inte för att få reda på hur dyrt det har blivit med tjänstefolk (Christie) eller varför katolicismen är trevlig (Chesterton), utan för att jag vill ha något att fundera på, något att tävla med detektiven om. Här lyckades jag bara en gång, och det för att författaren lade en av de viktiga ingredienserna i brottet i dagen på ett ganska klumpigt sätt.
