Ecco come Gilbert Keith Chesterton descrive il fortunato personaggio letterario uscito dalla sua penna: ''La prima caratteristica di Padre Brown è di non avere caratteristiche; la sua importanza, di non apparire importante; e che la sua qualità cospicua quella di non essere cospicuo, e il suo ordinarissimo esterno vuole essere in contrasto con la sua attenzione e la sua intelligenza insospettate. Non è trasandato, ma piuttosto accurato; non è impacciato, ma molto delicato ed accorto".

Both by calling and conviction Father Brown knew better than most of us, that every man is dignified when he is dead. But even he felt a pang of incongruity when he was knocked up at daybreak and told that Sir Aaron Armstrong had been murdered. There was something absurd and unseemly about secret violence in connection with so entirely entertaining and popular a figure. For Sir Aaron Armstrong was entertaining to the point of being comic; and popular in such a manner as to be almost legendary. Why, or more to the point, who killed Sir Aaron?

"Liberalism: A Sample" is an essay by G. K. Chesterton which appears in Utopia of Usurers and Other Essays (1917). It concerns the astounding baseness to which journalism had sunk. Asking why party political journalism was so bad, Chesterton states that it is even worse than it intends to be. He claims that the newspapers simply cannot argue, and do not even pretend to argue. And that there’s a sort of carelessness in their degradation, so that they assume that the reader does not have a mind.

The Flying Inn is a satirical novel by G.K. Chesterton, first published in 1914. The story is set in a future England where a repressive ideology dominates the country’s political and social life.

The two men spread good cheer wherever they go on their journey, which encounters romance, revolution, and a host of memorable characters.

In 1917, G.K. Chesterton published an essay in response to an English minister’s objection to people sending cigarettes to British soldiers fighting in the trenches of World War I, titled "The Dregs of Puritanism".

The “good reverend”, however, was anxious that they should not be hurt by cigarettes.

A Short History of England (1917) is Chesterton’s commentary on the philosophical, social, and religious history of England.

Chesterton views the story of England as the story of robber barons who became an aristocracy and who concealed their rise to power and hegemony through Parliament.
