wonderful years. She spent most of her life in the shadow of her larger than life husband, Gilbert Keith Chesterton. She chose to keep quietly in the background, letting her husband and others take center stage.<\/p><p>Frances brought Gilbert to Christianity, and then twenty years later, Gilbert brought Frances to Catholicism. Theirs was a happy marriage of ideas, debate, friendly banter, faith, and love.<\/p><p>Like her husband, Frances was a writer. Her plays, included in the book\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chesterton.org\/shop\/how-far-is-it-to-bethlehem\/\"><em>How Far Is It To Bethlehem<\/em><em>?<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Nancy Carpentier Brown, were written for Christmas Eve productions which Gilbert and Frances put on each year.<\/p><p>The poem,\u00a0<em>How Far Is It To Bethlehem,<\/em>\u00a0is Frances Chesterton\u2019s lasting legacy.
