Reflections on life that are hilarious, touching, and sometimes even terrifying. Trifles? No. Chesterton goes deep even when he seems to have a light touch. Laugh at ‘What I Found in My Pocket’ and ‘On Lying in Bed’, meditate on ‘A Piece of Chalk’ and warm up to ‘The Dragon’s Grandmother’ and shiver at ‘The Diabolist.’
