BBC Television has announced plans to make a series on The Detection Club. Set in the 1930s, the golden age of detective fiction, The Detection Club actually existed, and its most illustrious writers were Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and G.K. Chesterton. The series will be centered around these three who will join forces to solve real-life murders. 'Honing their craft within the hallowed walls of a secret London location, the three writers come together after receiving an invitation that leads them to their first real murder case. The series follows the trio as they work together to crack cases, all to the despair of D.I. Greenway, a young, rookie, real-life detective.' Production is scheduled to commence in 2026. The actors have not yet been cast. Wouldn't it be great if they got Chesterton right?
Quotes by and posts relating to one of the most influential authors of the 20th century, G.K. Chesterton
A blog dedicated to providing quotes by and posts relating to one of the most influential (and quotable!) authors of the twentieth century, G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936). If you do not know much about GKC, I suggest visiting the webpage of the American Chesterton Society as well as this wonderful Chesterton Facebook Page by a fellow Chestertonian
I also have created a list detailing examples of the influence of Chesterton if you are interested, that I work on from time to time.
(Moreover, for a list of short GKC quotes, I have created one here, citing the sources)
"...Stevenson had found that the secret of life lies in laughter and humility."
-Heretics (1905)
