The Man Who Was Thursday

"If your mind needs a tonic of iron and wine, and a thorough rough-and-tumbling, try Samuel Butler's Notebooks or The Man Who Was Thursday, by Chesterton."

- Roger Mifflin (Christopher Morley), The Haunted Bookshop




"It is all a huge joke, a quite absurd and laughable fantasy - or it is a sermon - or it is even an explanation. Read the book and make your choice."

- Hildegarde Hawthorne, New York Times, May 2, 1908




"Mr. Chesterton has done an admirable thing, and probably knows it."

- Austin Harrison, London Observer, March 1, 1908
