Tremendous Trifles

In this sparkling collection of Edwardian essays, mundane everyday trifles become portals to profound wonder and philosophy. Armed with his trademark wit and dazzling paradox, Chesterton finds high romance in drawing with chalk upon the Sussex Downs, defending the art of lying in bed, and pondering what lies within a man's pockets. Championing childlike awe against modern cynicism, these sketches celebrate the magnificent poetry of ordinary life.
