G. K. Chesterton’s Early Poetry: Greybeards At Play, The Wild Knight And Other Stories, The Ballad Of The White Horse

This book combines under one cover G. K. Chesterton’s first three books of poetry: Greybeards at Play (1900), The Wild Knight and Other Stories (1900), and The Ballad of the White Horse (1911). All the texts are from the first UK editions. W. H. Auden said that Greybeards “contains some of the best pure nonsense verse in English” and The Ballad of the White Horse inspired the English during the darkest days of World War II.
