A happy and innocent people who were primarily shepherds and farmers formerly resided on an island. Not in an idolatrous manner, but rather as the golden crown of the deity that all such children perceive almost as clearly as the sun, they worshipped the sun.

G. K. Chesterton wrote thousands of essays during his literary career. This book is a small collection of them. They include such topics as: "A Visit to the Zoo", "Democracy as an Alarm", and "Fortgetfulness". Some are slightly over one page in length and other run over five pages. Apparently, this is a reprint of a collection originally published before 1920. Our modern would-be journalists should be required to read these essays to see how "real" journalists once worked!
