The Man Who Was Thursday

A Nightmare — The Complete 1908 Text, with Twenty Original Soft-Ground Etchings

G. K. Chesterton

A poet is made a policeman, sworn into a secret branch of Scotland Yard, elected to the Central Anarchist Council and given the name Thursday. The chase runs from a Soho committee room to a duel in a French field and a masked ball at the end of the world. Twenty soft-ground etchings in fog and gaslight.
