I’m on an English Catholic Fabulist streak. I recently recommended Neil Gaiman’s Sandman to a friend, which reminded me that Gaiman much admires Chesterton, so, interrupting Lewis' Space Trilogy, I read The Napoleon of Notting Hill (e-texts of Chesterton’s works at dmu.ac.uk.) I might have said English Catholic Moralists but that Chesterton and Lewis are wonderfully entertaining writers (in very different ways) and terrific storytellers, which mere Moralists usually are not.
