The Man Who Knew Too Much - G K Chesterton

eight short stories that trace the activities of Horne

Fisher, "the man who knew too much," and his trusted

friend, political journalist Harold March. Horne is a

socialite who uses his keen mind and powerful gifts

of deduction to investigate crimes committed on the

sprawling country estates of the aristocracy. Much loved

for their wit and sense of wonder, these stories offer a

fascinating portrait of upper-crust society in pre-World

War I England.

Highly regarded as a biting social commentator,

Chesterton fully displays his humorous and insightful

comparisons through his colorful and poetic prose.
