Product Description
by G. K. Chesterton (Author), Simon Newman (Introduction by)
'What I Saw in America' is an eloquent record of the polymath G. K. Chesterton's experiences on a lecture tour of the US in 1921. This is a persuasive, revealing and essential work that overflows with wry humour, sympathy and intelligence playing devilishly against an irrepressible mischievousness.
