The Paradoxes of Mr. Pond

Speculative fiction by Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Blurb

The Paradoxes of Mr. Pond by G.K. Chesterton is about the strange and mercurial Mr. Pond, with whom all conversed and quarreled, and yet all were magnetized. Excerpt: "The curious and sometimes creepy effect which Mr. Pond produced upon me, despite his commonplace courtesy and dapper decorum, was possibly connected with some memories of childhood; and the vague verbal association of his name. He was a Government official who was an old friend of my father; and I fancy my infantile imagination had somehow mixed up the name of Mr. Pond with the pond in the garden."
