  • "Chesterton's 39 short essays are the result, he says, of "sitting still and letting marvels and adventures settle on him like flies." Actually, he does move around -- Germany, France, and on foot in England when he tires of waiting for a train. Full of both good sense and nonsense, his commentaries remain an absolute delight."
  • "Chesterton has been called the Prince of Paradox. His works include journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, fantasy and detective stories. Chesterton has great fun satirizing the Victorian sleuths such as Sherlock Holmes . These 39 tales will delight the reader. Chesterton said that these stories just came to him like sitting still and letting them light on him like flies. Some of these tales are just for fun while other are filled with good common sense. Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English literary."@en
  • "Výbor představuje spisovatele jako u nás méně známého esejistu, učícího vnímat ohromné maličkosti, obyčejné přehlížené věci kolem člověka (Ohromné maličkosti) a snažícího se o obhajobu toho, co lidé označují za špatné, co všakbylo kdysi dobré k tomu, aby se něco jiného zlepšilo (Obrany)."
  • "This book collects essays by Chesterton on a variety of subjects."@en
  • "Chesterton marvels at all of the little moments that makes up our lives in this whimsical collection of essays, each of which originally appeared in London's Daily News. He allows readers a new way to look at life; essays such as "A piece of chalk," "The shop of ghosts," and "On lying in bed," are just a few of the gems in this delightful treasury."
