[Maximilian]

I think I'll read it again, it's been a couple of decades...

Don't bother, it's a horrible book. Chesterton at his worst and most annoying.

"This is a book I do not like,
Take it away to Heckmondwike,
A lurid exile, lost and sad,
to punish it for being bad.
You need not take it from the shelf,
(I tried to read it once myself:
The speeches jerk, the chapters sprawl,
The story makes no sense at all)
Hide it your Yorkshire moors among
Where no man speaks the English tongue."

Chesterton on Chesterton's The Ball and the Cross
