About this ebook
The Four Men offers, among other things, inns, saints, cheeses, jokes, stars, arguments, and poetry. Throughout, we find reflections on the impermanence of any earthly homeland and our deepest longing for an eternal Home.
Hilaire Belloc
Hilaire Belloc was born in France in 1870. As a child, he moved with his mother and siblings to England. As a French citizen, he did his military service in France before going to Oxford University, where he was president of the Union debating society. He took British citizenship in 1902 and was a member of parliament for several years. A prolific and versatile writer of over 150 books, he is best remembered for his comic and light verse. But he also wrote extensively about politics, history, nature and contemporary society. Famously adversarial, he is remembered for his long-running feud with H. G. Wells. He died in in Surrey, England, in 1953.

Reviews for The Four Men
11 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I expected something similar to Three Men in a Boat or Mr. Finchley Takes the Road and the premise of four men walking from pub to pub in Sussex with their anecdotes sounded attractive. Unfortunately the narrative is killed stone dead by leaden dialogue and dull characterization. The odd amusing moment, but I reached the end with some relief.
