Chesterton first came to notice as a flamboyant, swordstick-toting journalist in the heyday of London's 'Fleet Street; during the long golden afternoon of late Victorian England. Between the two world wars, he even published his own 'journal of opinion,' G. K.'s Weekly. he was also a novelist, critic, playwright, poet, polemicist, humorist, and debater of note. But he had originally been trained as an artist and illustrator, and he went through life throwing off sketches, cartoons, and chalk drawings like so many petals from some mad lover's gigantic daisy. He doodled as he wrote, and he scribbled all over his drawings - on menus, napkins, tablecloths, and even the wallpaper. The Art of G.K. Chesterton, therefore, is a fitting anniversary re-introduction of this warm, witty, wild, and wonderful giant to a new generation. Biographer Alzina Stone Dale has penned a brief but galloping romp through his Catherine-wheel career, and the volume is filled with heretofore unpublished sketches, cartoons, chalk drawings and Chestertonian doodlings from the Marion E. Wade Collection at Wheaton College Library. Just as G.K.C. himself might have done it." Don't forget to check out other great deals in our eBay Store!!
