Ian ker chesterton

This full-length life of G. K. Chesterton is the first comprehensive biography of both the man and the writer. It draws on many unpublished letters and papers to evoke Chesterton's joyful humour, his humility and affinity to the common man, and his love of the ordinary things of life. Ker was regarded as the leading authority on John Henry Newman, on whom he published the universally acknowledged definitive biography. He was the author of The Catholic Revival in English Literature –, Mere Catholicism, and G.K. Chesterton: A Biography.
