“Quote of the Day” –  Handwriting Practice

G K Chesterton (1875 – 1936) was a writer, poet and philosopher. Chesterton was a great thinker and a genius at seeing what was true and what was not. Whenever he saw something that was wrong, he spoke out against it. For example, he was one of the first to understand how evil and dangerous Hitler was. Chesterton became a Catholic in 1922. He had a very big influence on C S Lewis and J R R Tolkien.
