Chesterton is mostly in the US public domain now (and wholly PD in death plus 70 regions), so we’ve got a decent selection of his work available for free at Standard Ebooks. I have a soft spot for The Club of Queer Trades if you’re looking for a recommendation. https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/g-k-chesterton
