"Gilbert Keith Chesterton" is a review of some of the author's famous works by literary critic Patrick Braybrooke. Braybrooke is full of admiration of his subject and surmises that, «Nothing could be more useful, therefore, than to write a book about a man who has done more than any other living writer to stimulate and preserve the primitive sense of wonder and joy in human life. Gilbert Keith Chesterton has never lost mental contact with the cosmic simplicity of human existence. He knows, as well as anybody has ever known, that the life of man goes wrong simply because we are too lazy to be pleased with simple, fundamental things.» Works reviewed include: Orthodoxy, Tremendous Trifles, The Defendant, The Ballad of the White Horse, as well as Chesterton's criticisms of the works of other famous writers Charles Dickens, Thackeray and Browning.
