Autobiography

In Autobiography Chesterton describes his happy childhood, the intellectual ‘doubts and morbidities’ of his youth and his search for a true vocation. He includes many anecdotes about his literary friends, Henry James, George Bernard Shaw, and H G Wells. But it is his quest for religious conviction and his conversion to Catholicism that is central to his story which he tells with great modesty, gentleness and intelligence.
