G.K. Chesterton Omnibus is a compilation of works by the renowned English author, G.K. Chesterton. Unlike a single novel, an 'omnibus' book gathers several of his most famous novels or longer works into one volume, serving as an efficient way for readers to enjoy his many works. One 'omnibus' edition published in 1936, for example, includes three of Chesterton's major novels: The Napoleon of Notting Hill (1904): A satirical fantasy exploring themes of local patriotism and modern warfare in a futuristic London where the districts have become warring city-states. The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare (1908): Often considered his most famous novel, this is a metaphysical and fantasy thriller about a detective who infiltrates the seven-member Central Anarchist Council, where each member is named after a day of the week, and uncovers a series of hidden identities. The Flying Inn (1914): A novel combining humor and social criticism, it focuses on England's bizarre alcohol prohibition laws and the adventures of two men who attempt to defy them. Other editions may include a collection of his popular detective stories featuring Father Brown, a humble priest who uses his psychological and theological insights to solve crimes.
