From what I remember of reading The Man Who Was Thursday a few years back, the whole book felt like several dreams linked together. Chesterton took what I thought to be familiar locations around his London and gave them a surreal feeling. That's what held my attention for the whole book.

BTW - I'm glad that you will be posting new chapter studies every other week rather that a new one every week. I shall be re-reading the whole book as this study goes along.

Being a visual person, please name the characters in the Chesterton sketch. I think I know who is who, but I would like to hear what others think. Such things as is Gogol the hairy man or the bald man? And what about the order? Which leads me to the order they were introduced into the book.

Here's an extra treat for everyone :pleased:

TMWWT is probably most often found in the 'classics' section, bound attractively, even in paperback form. However, once upon a time, it was published for a, erm, wider audience... I give you the March 1944 cover for Famous Fantastic Mysteries magazine.
