The Club of Queer Trades is a collection of stories by G. K. Chesterton first published in 1905
This beloved collection of detective stories and mysteries is based on a club that is only open to those who rely on unusual or extraordinary lines of work as their main source of income.
Each story in the collection is centered on a person who is making his living by some novel and extraordinary means (a "queer trade").
We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.
