About Tremendous Trifles

“I will sit still and let the marvels and the adventures settle on me like flies. There are plenty of them, I assure you. The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.”

Tremendous Trifles is one of the most popular books of essays by English author, philosopher, and literary critic G. K. Chesterton. Providing reflections on life that are at once amusing, touching, and at times terrifying, these thirty-nine short essays are the result, as Chesterton himself puts it, of “sitting still and letting marvels and adventures settle on him like flies.”

Laugh at “What I Found in My Pocket”, meditate on “A Piece of Chalk”, warm up to “The Dragon’s Grandmother” and feel a shiver at “The Diabolist.” In this delightful collection of Essays, Chesterton asks us to look at commonplace ordinary things and to see how extraordinary they are; what appear at first to be trifles, are actually remarkable and even wondrous. Remaining as fresh and insightful as when they were first published, these essays make for a rewarding and thoroughly engaging read.
