Classic novel, first published early in the 20th century. According to Wikipedia: ''Gilbert Keith Chesterton, KC*SG (29 May 1874 14 June 1936) was an English writer. His prolific and diverse output included philosophy, ontology, poetry, plays, journalism, public lectures and debates, literary and art criticism, biography, Christian apologetics, and fiction, including fantasy and detective fiction. Chesterton has been called the ''prince of paradox''. Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing style: ''Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out.'' For example, Chesterton wrote ''Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.
