The Poet and the Lunatics tells the story of a poet, Gabriel Gale. He remarkably resembles the "late" Father Brown, whose apparent simple-mindedness masks his extraordinary mental percipience. He solves and prevents complex crimes committed by madmen by interpreting moral clues in moral atmospheres.
The Poet and the Lunatics contains an interactive table of contents.
The Poet and the Lunatics edition by G K Chesterton Literature Fiction eBooks
While not nearly as well known as The Father Brown mysteries or The Man Who Was Thursday, the quirky adventures of Gabriel Gale -- poet, artist and lunatic-keeper -- provide excellent entertainment for an evening spent curled up with a good book. This collection of short adventures explores some basic ideas about human nature, specifically,the ideas of poetry, insanity and sin. Some events in the stories are worthy of a laugh out loud, but each also has a darker side that causes the attentive reader to shudder, as Chesterton clearly outlines the differences between these.Product details

The Poet and the Lunatics edition by G K Chesterton Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
In keeping with many of his works, Chesterton examines the ideas of sanity, madness, and modern thought- often coming to conclusions most moderns would not like. The percepetion Chesterton gives, though eighty years old, is remarkably fresh and relevant. For the enemies of good in Chesterton's time have not really changed, aside from some slight vagrancies in vocabulary. Be forewarned atheistic thought is taken to the hammer {as it well should be! ha!}, and all its forebearance of "modernity" is shown to be the true madness of life, rather than the seeming madness of Gabriel, who is sane {as we see, in more ways than one}.
This is a fine, quirky sort of book, relatively short, but filled with excellent insight. And it's an enjoyable read at that- a real shame it's been neglected {along with much of Chesterton's work}. I for one propose to come back to it again.
