During the last part of the nineteenth century, the detective story took off as a popular genre as literary magazines vied with each other to draw in readers with gripping page-turners by the likes of Arthur Conan Doyle, G. K. Chesterton, Guy Boothby and Wilkie Collins. This collection brings together some of the great detectives of the Victorian era, from the master sleuth himself, Sherlock Holmes, to the mild mannered Father Brown, to the feisty J. G. Reeder.

If you were to meet a mild, hardworking little priest named Father Brown and were to ask him what he thought was the most singular luck of his life, he would probably reply that upon the whole his best stroke was at the Vernon Hotel, where he had averted a crime and, perhaps, saved a soul merely by listening to a few footsteps in a passage.

The Club of Queer Trades is a collection of stories by G. K. Chesterton first published in 1905. Each story in the collection is centered on a person who is making his living by some novel and extraordinary means (a "queer trade", using the word "queer" in the sense of "peculiar"). To gain admittance one must have invented a unique means of earning a living and the subsequent trade being the main source of income.

A compelling series of twenty essays sees Chesterton take aim at fashionable contemporary thinkers – writers and philosophers such as H. G. Wells, Rudyard Kipling and Bernard Shaw – who are proponents of rebellion and relativism. With his razor-sharp wit and charm, Chesterton cleverly unpicks these concepts, arguing that there is a better way forward.

Dive into the world of The Innocence of Father Brown, a collection of riveting mystery tales penned by G.K. Chesterton. Unveil the truth behind each enigma with the unassuming yet astoundingly sharp Roman Catholic priest, Father Brown. Despite his unremarkable exterior, Father Browns insightful deductions consistently outdo the so-called experts, often caught off-guard due to their prejudgments about Christianity. This 1911 classic weaves together enthralling narratives and thought-provoking commentary, making it an irresistible read. (Summary by Brian Roberg)

In 1910, when the industrialists and intelligentsia both promised only “progress,” G. K. Chesterton was among the few in the West who could see the brewing ideological storms that would soon make landfall, not just in the form of world wars and totalitarianism but in the pervasive modern dehumanization that consumes us to this day. More than a century ago, Chesterton perceived the beginnings of “woke capital” and how it aligns with and promotes social progressivism. There is an unspoken alliance between big business and progressives, he explains.

Orthodoxy (1908) is a book by G. K. Chesterton that has become a classic of Christian apologetic. Chesterton considered this book a companion to his other work, Heretics, writing it expressly in response to G.S. Street's criticism of the earlier work, "that he was not going to bother about his theology until I had really stated mine".

In this stirring epic poem, delve into the tale of Alfred the Great as he valiantly defends Christian England against the fierce Viking invaders. The pivotal battle unfolds near a white horse mark etched into a hill, giving the poem its evocative name. G.K. Chesterton interprets this mark not just as a landmark, but as a powerful symbol of the ongoing struggle to preserve the Christian culture and values that Alfred fought so hard to defend. - Summary by Robin Lamb
