The feast of Chesterton - hoorah!

Yesterday Gilbert Keith Chesterton turned 132 years old!

The Chesterton and Friends blog is where you want to hang out for the party.

A short description of what is happening over there:

"[we] will be producing an extended look at both G.K. Chesterton's life and the Chestertonian Life during the period of May 29 to June 14 inclusive... Our aim is not only to deliver a useful and engaging treatment of Gilbert's life (which it will be, we hope), but also to foster thought and discussion about the Catholic life, and Life in general."

I would also recommend taking a look at Gilbert! the Magazine of G. K. Chesterton (which my family has subscribed to from the beginning of its publication and thoroughly enjoy).

Finally, Dale Ahlquist, President of the American Chesterton Society has a short "pithy bio" of GKC.

His recent book, G. K. Chesterton: Apostle of Common Sense is now available ($10).
