Publisher's Synopsis
Well, for one reason because the essayist is G. K. Chesterton, one of Catholicism's most readable writers, whose gift for incisive wit and clever aphorisms is seemingly inexhaustible. Chesterton's clear thinking and fresh view of the world makes for delightful reading no matter what the topic.But there are more reasons to read Twelve Types. Twelve of them, in fact. Each essay in this wonderful little book has something stimulating to say not only on the figure written about, but also on our own times.
