The Club of Queer Trades : Large Print

A collection of related short stories by British author G.

K. Chesterton. Each story is centered on a person who is making his living by some novel and extraordinary means (a "queer trade").

To gain admittance to the Club, one must have a unique queer trade as principal source of income. "Cherub" Swinburne describes his quest for The Club of Queer Trades with his friend Basil Grant, a retired judge, and Rupert Grant, a private detective who is Basil's younger brother.

Each of the stories describes their encounter with one of the trades.

In the final story, Rupert Grant rescues a lady from her kidnappers but cannot understand why she refuses to be rescued.

The answer leads to the unveiling of the mystery of The Club of Queer Trades.
