Fancies Versus Fads G K Chesterton Modern edition

A unique edition: beautifully formatted, with optimized, large fonts;the complete, unabridged, original 1923 version;annotated, with additional content including information about the book and the Author.



This is one of Chesterton's best collections of essays. Among the fads that the Author goes after are Feminism, Free Verse, Prohibition, and Vegetarianism.

"I have strung these things together on a slight enough thread; but as the things themselves are slight, it is possible that the thread (and the metaphor) may manage to hang together. These notes (...) concern all sorts of things from lady barristers to cave-men, and from psycho-analysis to free verse. Yet they have this amount of unity in their wandering, that they all imply that it is only a more traditional spirit that is truly able to wander."

Our edition is a joy to hold in your hand. Buy it with confidence!
