Welcome to the latest in our series of audio adventures, Tales for Our Time: it's Part Three of my serialization of The Man Who Was Thursday by G K Chesterton, a tale of anarchists on Edwardian London streets to divert you from the anarchists on 21st century American streets. We're always happy to hear from Mark Steyn Club members who enjoy our radio adaptations, and Kitty, a First Day Founding Member from Massachusetts, likes this one so far: I read this book more than a decade ago. It is so much more pleasurable to hear it read by you! Thank you! I'll have to take your word for that, Kitty - unless you want to come in to the studio and we can compare readings. In tonight's episode of The Man Who Was Thursday, our two poets find ...
