Lucian Gregory, an anarchist poet, is the only poet in Saffron Park, until he loses his temper in an argument over the purpose of poetry with Gabriel Syme, who takes the opposite view. After some time, the frustrated Gregory finds Syme and leads him to a local anarchist meeting-place to prove that he is a true anarchist.

Brewer-Geisz is an excellent amateur reader with a young-sounding American voice. He brings out the wry humor in Chesterton's writing and varies his pacing to keep the action interesting.

My husband and I listened to this together and could scarcely stop laughing. The book is hilariously crazy and the recording is superb. Zachary is clear, precise and engaging.

Thank you!

Subject: Reader has a very nice voice. This is a very good classic.
I have listened to other free book readings and did not like the voice of the reader. This book is a very good classic and the reader does a very good job.

Thank you!
