A.N. Wilson reviews Ian Ker’s biography of G.K. Chesterton, the ‘man mountain of Fleet Street’:
‘Ker’s book is immensely long, and it is full of details which Chestertonians will savour. Everyone knew that GK was fat, but I had never realised quite how fat he was until I read this book: he was scarcely able to get into the bath, and his wife had difficulty persuading him to wash. He never went to the dentist.
