Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Manalive" by G. K. Chesterton is a novel published in 1912. When the eccentric Innocent Smith arrives at a London boarding house with a gust of wind, he transforms the residents' lives with his playful spirit and wild antics. But joy turns to chaos when he's accused of burglary, polygamy, and attempted murder. The household forms its own court to investigate the charges, uncovering the surprising truth behind Smith's seemingly criminal behavior in this exploration of Chesterton's "holy fool" philosophy.
