**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)

Never Take Things at Face Value Department: the June, 1953, edition of *MacKills Mystery Magazine* featured "The Vampire of the Village," billed as "here published for the first time in a British magazine." The announcement must have come as a surprise to the editors of *The Strand* magazine, who were the original publishers of the story in August of 1936.

(EJS note for the non-GKCers out there: "The Vampire of the Village" is a well-known Father Brown story.)
