  The Poetry of GK Chesterton - A...

  Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in Campden Hill, Kensington on May 29th 1874. 
  Originally after attending St Pauls School he went to Slade to learn the art of illustration.  In 1896 he joined a small London publisher and began his journalistic career as a freelance art and literary critic before going on to writing weekly columns in the Daily News and the Illustrated London News. 
  In 1901 he married Frances Blogg, to whom he remained married for the rest of his life. 
  For many he is known as a very fine novelist and the creator of the Father Brown Detective stories which were much influenced by his own beliefs.  A large man – 6’ 4” and 21st in weight he was apt to be forgetful in that delightful way that the British sometimes are – a telegram home to his wife saying he was in one place but where should he actually be…….? 
  He was prolific in many other areas; he wrote plays, short stories, essays, loved to debate and wrote hundreds of poems.  It is on his poems that we concentrate this volume.  They range from the virtues and vices of England and the English to his world view and religious beliefs. 
  GK Chesterton died of congestive heart failure on 14th June, 1936 and is buried in Beaconsfield just outside of London. 
  This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

  A punchy and provocative story about democracy, power, and how we can try to build a better world.
  A generation of young people has been let down. Schools are crumbling, the NHS is falling apart, and soon there won't be a planet left to save. It feels like the people in charge simply don't care.
  Pushed to the edge, a group of teenagers decide to create a future for themselves, carving out a utopia away from the failings of those who came before. But if you rebuild a society from the ground up, how do you avoid making the same mistakes?
  Abi Falase and Tatenda Shamiso's play The Village was first staged at the Almeida Theatre, London, performed by the Almeida Young Company.
  The Nick Hern Books Multiplay Drama series features large-cast plays specifically written to be performed by and appeal to young adults. For more information, visit www.multiplaydrama.co.uk.
