Christmas Swag
It's Christmas.
First, Mass. Joy to the World!
But then the carousel of food and gifts - and, of course books.
Among this year's bounty, some Chestertonian delights.
How Far Is It to Bethlehem: The Plays & Poetry of Frances Chesterton - appropriate for Christmas.
Then some works by familiar Chesterton fellow-travelers:
and
Nancy Carpentier Brown's A Study Guide for G. K. Chesterton's Saint Francis of Assisi.
Finally, a daughter wandering through a used book store in Boston found a First American Edition of The Wisdom of Father Brown in excellent condition.
Ah.
Delightful reading ahead!.

St. Nicholas Clerihew
At Nicaea, St. Nicholas
slapped a naughty Arius.
Since then he's found a list does fine
to help keep those who stray in line.
