About this listen

A delightfully oddball classic by G.K. Chesterton—now with illustrations and bonus whimsy!
Dancing stars, leaping gentlemen, and poetic nonsense await in Greybeards at Play, Chesterton’s very first published work. This lighthearted collection pokes fun at literary seriousness while celebrating imagination in its purest form.

This edition features 25 quirky poems (including a dedication, moral, and envoy), each paired with illustrations that capture the spirit and wit of the original work—bringing Chesterton’s humor to life like never before.

BONUS CONTENT INCLUDED:
At the end of the book, you’ll find two delightful extras:

  • 10 Curious Questions from Chesterton’s World — thought-provoking and hilarious prompts to stir your inner child

  • How to Unbore Yourself — a playful list of activities designed to flip your world upside down, if only for a moment

Whether you're young, old, or charmingly greybearded, this book is a celebration of whimsy, wit, and the quiet magic of noticing the world anew.
