When Innocent Smith arrives at Beacon House, a London boarding establishment, he turns the lives of the residents and staff upside-down with his contagious enthusiasms. But when he is suddenly accused of the most terrible crimes, it seems Smith is not so Innocent after all. Yet in the works of Chesterton, nothing is as it seems . . .

What a ride! Looking for a plot? Don't! Just hang on and let this master of the Enlgish language lead you through the most imaginative of journies! And by the end, you'll have discovered something about yourself that you'd never known/seen before. This is a celebration of the sacramentality of living - the joyful unexpected woven deeply in the fabric of life. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

This is an older text with typos, but nevertheless, it is a great read. It truely makes one ask, 'Am I a manalive, or have I died long before I have died?'

The poor digitizing of this particular version makes a very bad reading experience. The story is delightful and, of course, written by a master. It is too bad that one cannot enjoy this version.

The optical scanning of this book is so defective, it is literally unreadable. I don't think there are two uncorrupted sentences in a row. If the other 500,000 books from Google Books are this defective, I can't even guess why B&N even bothered.
