Tales of the Long Bow

Book cover
By: (1874-1936)

"Tales of the Long Bow" is a captivating collection of satirical short stories by G.K. Chesterton. Each story is filled with wit, clever wordplay, and insightful social commentary that is still relevant today. Chesterton's writing is not only entertaining but also thought-provoking, making readers reflect on the absurdity of human nature and society. The characters are eccentric and memorable, adding depth to the already rich narratives. Overall, "Tales of the Long Bow" is a delightful read that will leave readers entertained and intellectually stimulated.

Book Description:
These tales concern the doing of things recognized as impossible to do; impossible to believe; and, as the weary reader may well cry aloud, impossible to read about. Did the narrator merely say that they happened, without saying how they happened, they could easily be classified with the cow who jumped over the moon or the more introspective individual who jumped down his own throat. In short, they are all tall stories; and though tall stories may also be true stories, there is something in the very phrase appropriate to such a topsy-turvydom; for the logician will presumably class a tall story with a corpulent epigram or a long-legged essay.
