Being no great lover of Chesterton's work, ordinarily, I expected this to be a bit of a slog. It was NOT! This book contains all of the best parts of his witticisms, wrynesses, and commentaries, without the sometimes-bullish priggishnesses that can overwhelm them.
This work is equal parts apologia and personal testimony. There is a minimum of quoted scripture in it, but a maximum of recognizable references to distinctive scriptures. There is a large amount of logic in it, but a minimum of the puzzling gyrations that turn a person's brain inside-out. Thoroughly a pleasant, enjoyable read that will reveal slightly different perspectives than one may have at first considered.
(And Pimlico, poor Pimlico. XD Modern American readers might best substitute New Jersey or Iowa for references to Pimlico.)
