When two men decide to fight for their respective beliefs, they discover to their astonishment that an unbelieving world won’t let them, and they find themselves partners and fugitives from the law in this steampunk satire. Penned by G.K. Chesterton in 1909, this whimsical and biting novel eerily foreshadows a world in which “tolerance” is the only god and all those who believe ideas are worth dying for are forced to stand together to defend freedom of speech and belief.
For high school-aged readers and up.

The Ball and the Cross
This book is an incredible one and the new illustrations match Chesterton’s lively descriptions perfectly! Highly recommend the book and this edition in particular.
