Gilbert by Ward

Anyone who knows me knows I love to reread the stuff that Chesterton wrote nearly 100years ago. I am sure i am not alone around the world , although I noted with interest how little of his material has been left in libraries here in Victoria Australia - they think they are running an education revolution - what with contempoary progresive authors and sycophantic sub scientific stuff ??? No wonder thinking people hesitate to send their kids to the ever reactionary and "revolutionary " secular secondary state schools.

Camberwell library has nothing of Gilbert's anymore - too many clever reviewers? - Why would i ever go to that library when so much of it is so currently Politically correct? You won't clearly find something there to put your essay on Bernard Shaw,Dickens or Lord of the rings into the top ten of tough literary review stuff !)

What makes this book written by a friend so special is not pontification, but the truly personal papers it contains of real dialogue between friends . Don't you just wish you could meet, like he did, with H.G wells and Shaw over a beer; have a good laugh at all the nonsense that went on around them --as they did .
You can. Just ask for the book by name Gilbert J Chesterton by Maise Ward and forget all those who over promote progressive ( meaning current wannabes ) authors as if they really have ever had such a robust and wide rangeing intellectual discourse as those three! and if you think they are too old to be relevant - tell me why are scientists reading his stuff!
