GKC Wednesday

Background: When I was the editor of Gilbert Magazine, 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 October of 1927 when the Shaws had moved into a new apartment in Westminster, George Bernard immediately befriended the young assistant in the foyer bookshop and assigned her to keep him informed of any new articles by G.K. Chesterton. [Michael Holroyd, Bernard Shaw, v. III, p. 139]
