25 - Manalive by G. K. Chesterton

Set in the steep northern heights of London, where the streets climb skywards like a towering mountain range, Manalive tells the story of a desolate terrace of tall grey houses. At the end of this terrace lies Beacon House, a boarding establishment that stands tall and imposing like an abandoned ships prow against the setting sun. This intriguing tale was masterfully penned by the renowned writer, Gilbert Keith Chesterton.
