Mr. G. K. CHESTERTON
With the autumn publishing season broadcasting's two book critics return, to select from the weekly flood books worth notice, to sample them, and to pass on to listeners in a weekly causerio the reasons why they should be read. Mr. Chesterton shares this onerous task with Mr. Desmond MacCarthy ; they will take turns at the microphone on Mondays until Christmas. Mr. Chesterton is not only a writer of fine achievement. He is a critic with a well-defined attitude to most things under the sky. Listeners may or may not agree with his judgments ; but in either case they will have had the benefit of the views of one of I he most richly-stored minds of our times.
