Welcome to The G. K. Chesterton Library, where the old books are opened again, and found to be astonishingly alive. Here are tales of priests and paradoxes, of taverns and trumpets, of common things made strange and splendid. In these readings, Chesterton’s wit, wonder, faith, and thunderous good humour return to the road, inviting every listener to discover that the world is not merely sensible, but miraculous.Public domain

    In which the seven enigmatic figures, adorned in costumes symbolising the days of creation, gather in an ancient garden where a solemn masquerade gives way to a grave discourse on suffering, honour, and the paradoxes of peace and rebellion. Among them, old friendships and fierce accusations intertwine beneath the fading bonfire light, revealing the quiet depths of their shared and solitary agonies.
