\u201cThese tales concern the doing of things recognised as impossible to do; impossible to believe; and, as the weary reader may well cry aloud, impossible to read about.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So begins\u00a0Tales of the Long Bow<\/em>, in which a man eats his hat, another sets the Thames on fire, silk purses are made out of sow\u2019s ears, and pigs fly. Who says Distributism is boring? These tales certainly suggest the opposite. Yet some critics have dismissed this book as a mere \u201cDistributist\u201d novel, complaining that Chesterton has needlessly restricted his creativity in favor of his political agenda. As with all of Chesterton\u2019s writings, it would be useful if those who criticized them actually sat down and read the book before dismissing it. They would look less stupid to the increasing number of people who have read the book… and reveled in it.<\/p>\n

The reviewers in Chesterton\u2019s day were quite a bit better than the critics in our day.\u00a0The Sunday Times<\/em> said that Chesterton was \u201cthe legitimate successor to Rabelais and Swift,\u201d with \u201cnonsense inextricably mingled with more wisdom than most \u2018serious\u2019 writers are capable of conceiving.\u201d Sir John Squire called it a book \u201cwhich no other man living or dead could have thought of.\u201d He acknowledged Chesterton\u2019s greatness as writer who has the unsurpassed skill to make us see things as if seeing them for the first time: \u201cHis power of playing with proverbs and stock metaphors depends largely on his ability to see what they mean, and ignore that they are stock. He is aware of every word.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aware of every word. This is one of the most astute observations of Chesterton\u2019s writing that you will ever encounter. Some critics have expressed exasperation over what they call Chesterton\u2019s careless, sloppy style. They have been deceived, however, by amazing effect of writing that seems effortless, \u201ctossed off,\u201d as Chesterton claimed. But the carelessness is only on the part of the critics. Careful readers appreciate and marvel at the unique craftsmanship of Chesterton\u2019s writing. Bishop Fulton Sheen said that Chesterton was the most influential writer on him personally because \u201che never wastes a word.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chesterton is indeed \u201caware of every word,\u201d and never more so than in this, his most subtle work of fiction. The tales were first published separately, but they are clearly woven together. The characters are carefully and lovingly drawn. Each one makes an understated, yet magnificent, yet entirely appropriate entrance, as in the best sort of drama. Or comedy.<\/p>\n

First we meet Colonel Crane in his garden, putting his top hat on a South Sea idol that is meant to serve as a scarecrow, and then putting a cabbage on his own head. Then we meet \u201chis most intimate and incongruous friend,\u201d Robert Owen, a lawyer, sitting on an island in a river, fishing. It is he who will eventually set the river on fire. Then comes Captain Pierce, defender of pigs, who argues that \u201cthose noble and much maligned animals\u201d gave the Prodigal Son \u201csuch excellent advice that he returned to his family.\u201d Next, Enoch Oates, an honest, if somewhat baffled American who finds what he\u2019s longing for in the \u201cmedieval\u201d English countryside. Rounding out the League of the Long Bow are Parson White, who rides a white elephant, Commander Blair, who builds castles in the air, and Professor Green, the astronomer who discovers a cow jumping over the moon. At first glance, they might be considered eccentric. But as Chesterton explains, you cannot have eccentrics without a center. The surprise is that these men are not on the fringe, but help form the very fabric of what is normal, a life that is indeed \u201ccentered.\u201d Captain Pierce muses: \u201cWhen you come to think of it, it\u2019s we who always stay where we are, and the rest of the world that\u2019s always moving and shifting and changing.\u201d They are the natural allies of Adam Wayne of Notting Hill, the title character of Chesterton\u2019s first novel, which is no less a \u201cDistributist novel\u201d than this one. But theirs is not so much an armed revolt (though there is a bit of that), it is a revolution in the literal sense, a turning back to recover the things that have been lost. \u201cWhen the real revolution happens,\u201d says Captain Pierce, \u201cit won\u2019t be mentioned in the newspapers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The League of the Long Bow is protecting the land, finding new ways to do old things, so that the old things can still be done. They are creatively re-creative in rejecting faddish theories, swerving around nonsensical regulations, outwitting the \u201cinevitable,\u201d and defying politically corrupt schemes. They do it by emphasizing the basic, unchanging truths. For instance, they all get married, because, as Commander Blair says, \u201cYou can\u2019t have the family farm without the family.\u201d But that doesn\u2019t mean being boring. Flying pigs are not boring.<\/p>\n
