Preserving great literary traditions... and
creating new ones.
We are proud to announce our latest volume, The
Eyewitness, a collection of short fiction by
Hilaire Belloc, exclusive to Glendalough Press. We are
also working on a new edition of Belloc's The Silence of the Sea,
a set of essays originally published in 1941. It will
include a special introduction by Dr. Grahame Clough,
President of the Hilaire Belloc Society (to be
published in fall 2008).
The Eyewitness: An Anthology of Short Stories and Historical Fiction
by Hilaire Belloc
 Written
with a truly eyewitness quality, these previously
uncollected short stories of Hilaire Belloc
transport us to realms of the past and realms of
fantasy. This unique volume edited by Matthew Anger
contains 25 tales, fables and farces, many appearing in
print for the first time since Belloc’s death over a
half century ago.
"Hilaire Belloc remains for many an undiscovered gem.
Matthew Anger is one of those few who have made the
discovery. What is more, he has assembled some of
Belloc's finest short stories into one cherishable
volume." – Joseph Pearce, author of Old Thunder:
A Life of Hilaire Belloc
"Belloc's eloquent time capsules… provide an earthy,
man-on-the-street dimension rich with texture,
nuance, and flashes of whimsy." – Mary McWay Seaman,
New Oxford Review
"Matthew Anger... deserves fulsome praise for
compiling this anthology.... The introductory story,
‘The Climax,’ is a compelling look at the world in
which Jesus lived." – Chris Chan, Gilbert
Magazine
Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) was a popular early 20th
century author who wrote more than 150 works of history,
religious apologetics, essays, military science, travel
writing and poetry.

Belief and Understanding: Selected Catholic Essays
by Matthew Anger
 This volume of Catholic writings offers perspectives on
history, culture, literature and philosophy that readers will
find at once challenging and orthodox. It discusses such figures
as Hilaire Belloc, H. G.
Wells, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, St. Augustine, Oscar Wilde,
Jacques Maritain, Joseph Pieper and many others.
"[Matthew Anger's] essays remind me especially of an
earlier master, the esteemed German Thomist, Joseph Pieper:
filled with weighty themes, simply addressed, not confusing
the obscure with the profound, the difficult with the true.
The Catholic Faith shines in all these essays in its
resplendent completeness, put in understandable terms, not
overfilled with jargon, not brimming with rancor. These are
how essays written in the classical realist style should be:
straightforward, yet penetrating as an arrow to the very
heart of things."
— Walter M. Hudson
Matthew Anger has written for Homiletic &
Pastoral Review, Latin Mass, and other
Catholic journals. He has also edited
The Eyewitness, a new collection of short
stories by Hilaire Belloc.
