Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Not lonely tonight baohaibo Adventure： The Exploits of Juve By: Marcel Allain (1885-1969) The Shaving of Shagpat By: George Meredith (1828-1909) The Invasion By: William Le Queux (1864-1927) Isobel By: James Oliver Curwood (1878-1927) The Great K and A Train Robbery By: Paul Leicester Ford (1865-1902) With Frederick The Great: A Story of the Seven Years' War By: George Alfred Henty (1832-1902) Gulliver's Travels, Told to the Children By: John Lang (1816-1864) The Art of Travel By: Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911) War By: Pierre Loti (1850-1923) The Recollections of Rifleman Harris By: Benjamin Harris (1781-1858) Red Men and White By: Owen Wister (1860-1938) The Luck Of Roaring Camp And Other Sketches By: Bret Harte (1836-1902) Some Rambling Notes of an Idle Excursion By: Mark Twain (1835-1910) The Game By: Jack London (1876-1916) King Arthur's Knights: The Tales Retold for Boys & Girls By: Henry Gilbert (1868-1937) The Adventures of Mr. voice talking xujinjin adventure： Missing Formula By: Mildred A.
