In this volume we discover that the obvious and the easy are not perhaps as obvious and easy as our authors first present them.

They play with us. There is certainty. Then there is uncertainty. There is a fact and then seemingly not.

One thing we can rely on though is that each new twist and turn takes us on a journey of frustration and exasperation that is as enjoyable as it is bewildering.

And, in the company of the sparkling wits of Chesterton, Aumonier, Barrie and a host of others who summon indignation and vexation as they rile and befuddle us then being exasperated was never quite so much fun.
