Manalive by G. K. Chesterton (Illustrated): - A Classic! - Includes Illustrations by Giovanni Antonio Canal - Includes an Active Index and Table of ContentsPublisher: A Paperback Edition is available:ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-078-4We all remember the fairy tales of science in our infancy, which played with the supposition that large animals could jump in the proportion of small ones. If an elephant were as strong as a grasshopper, he could (I suppose) spring clean out of the Zoological Gardens and alight trumpeting upon Primrose Hill. If a whale could leap from the sea like a trout, perhaps men might look up and see one soaring above Yarmouth like the winged island of Laputa. Such natural energy, though sublime, might certainly be inconvenient, and much of this inconvenience attended the gaiety and good intentions of the man in green. Publisher: Catholic Way Publishing
