**Background**: When I was the editor of *[Gilbert Magazine](http://www.chesterton.org/explore-the-acs/gilbertmagazine/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)*, I was responsible for the "Tremendous Trifles" column. It was occasionally hard to find a sufficient amount of interesting GKC material to fill the page, so John Peterson sent me a file full of Chesterton ancedotes. They were idiosyncratic, historical, and Chestertonian. He gave me permission to use them here. I hope y'all find them as interesting as I have over the years. Most of them have never been published.

 Chesterton Short(s)

In 1912 Robert Frost rented a five-room house in Beaconsfield, noting its location "within a mile or two of where Milton finished *Paradise Lost* and a mile or two of where Grey lies buried and within as many rods as furlongs of the house where Chesterton tries truth to see if it won't prove as true upside down, as it does right side up." \[Lawrence Thompson, *Robert Frost*, New York, 1966, p. 394\]
