Tremendous Trifles

Zusatztext

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."
