The Man Who Carried a Swordstick and a Pen
By Holly Geiger Lee
Illustrated by Nellie Buchanan
Meet Gilbert Keith Chesterton, the author of such celebrated books as The Man Who Was Thursday, The Innocence of Father Brown, and Orthodoxy. Chesterton stood strong for the truths of Christianity at a time when skeptics began turning away from faith in God. Undaunted by unbelievers, Chesterton insisted that the right way was the Christian way.
Books lined the walls of the Chesterton home in Kensington and took him on journeys into distant times and places. George MacDonald’s fairy stories ignited the flame of his imagination . . .”
In The Life of Chesterton: The Man Who Carried a Swordstick and a Pen, author Holly Lee introduces readers to Gilbert Chesterton and tells the story of his life, from his childhood and school days in London to his adulthood as a world-traveling author and speaker. Delightful pen-and-ink drawings by Nellie Buchanan bring readers fully into Chesterton’s world.
