"Mr. Chesterton has a quite unusual power of seeing the obvious, and it is quite true that many learned men seem to have lost that power." -The Times Literary Supplement (1925) The Everlasting Man (1925) was written by G.

G.K. Chesterton is perhaps the best kept secret of our time. He was the most prolific writer of his time and we should all spend more time studying his work. This book is both deep and hysterically funny in places. His dry wit and sense of humor is refreshing in this age of dry writing. Highly recommended !!
