About this book

'Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable.' The Return of Don Quixote rose to critical acclaim at the time of publication in 1927, with several readers lauding its quick wit and social depth. Today, it has become one of G.K. Chesterton's lesser-known gems. Set in the early twentieth century, The Return of Don Quixote centres on the character of Michael Herne, a gentle, quiet librarian. When Michael finds himself cast as a king in a medieval play, he reluctantly fulfils the role. But after the play's end, peculiar things start to occur: Michael begins donning armour, adopts chivalric ideals and boldly questions the hypocrisies of modern society. As Michael rallies for a movement that tackles misplaced power and dishonour, it's clear that a new Don Quixote is in town… As funny as it is thought-provoking, Chesterton's lost classic is a tribute to chivalrous and courageous spirits. This audiobook edition is brilliantly brought to life by Ben Allen. Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936) was an English novelist, philosopher, journalist and critic. A Christian apologist, he is famed for creating the fictional priest-detective Father Brown. His writing was also renowned for his sense of humour: known as 'the prince of paradox', Chesterton often turned common sayings upside down. Admired by several of his literary contemporaries, Chesterton's work is still widely read today.
