Four Faultless Felons: a book review

Four Faultless Felons by G. K. Chesterton

I recently read Four Faultless Felons (free on Project Gutenberg Australia here) by the great G. K. Chesterton.

This novel contains the stories of four men who appear to be villains (a murderer, a liar, a thief, and a traitor), but in fact are the opposite (and in this they recall Christ). The book is in the spirit of The Paradoxes of Mr. Pond, although those stories are (in my view) better. Still, I enjoyed it. The introduction by Martin Gardner in this edition was also interesting.

This book has also been reviewed at Biblio-File and by the American Chesterton Society.
