About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Poet and the Lunatics by G. K. Chesterton. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. The same pen that wrote the famous Father Brown stories here presents another volume of equally delightful mystery and murder stories with a central figure running through them all. For those who like to go a bit further than plot there is an additional mental exhilaration in store. (Ontario Library Review, 1929)
