The Club of Queer Trades

 

Welcome to the whimsical world of 'The Club of Queer Trades'!

In this collection of tales, G.K. Chesterton invites you to join a secret society unlike any other. Published in 1905, these stories weave a tapestry of mystery, humour, and imagination, showcasing Chesterton's unparalleled wit and flair for the unconventional.

At the heart of this collection lies the notion of 'queer trades' – professions so unique and eccentric that they defy conventional classification. From an organisation which specialises in injecting adventure and fantasy into humdrum lives, to a company whose sole purpose is to detain people, each story introduces us to characters whose occupations challenge our perceptions and expectations.
