Top Five G. K. Chesterton Books

(I have, I believe, read all of Chesterton’s fiction, and roughly fifteen books of his nonfiction: all of the titles regarded as his most significant, but by no means everything he published, since he was quite prolific. Here are my five favorites, in order of preference.)

 

  1. Orthodoxy

  2. The Complete Father Brown Mysteries

  3. The Napoleon of Notting Hill

  4. The Ball and the Cross

  5. The Man Who Was Thursday
