The Chesterton-like character in Sandman is the Fiddler's Green, just in case you care about it.

From Wombat:
The Gaiman fact is pretty well-established--there's a character in
Sandman who is clearly Chesterton. (Gilbert, who features prominently in the second story arc, "A Doll's House", with occasional other appearances throughout the series, is physically and temperamentally very much modeled on Chesterton.)
Or were you commenting on the delightful oddity of learning about Gaiman's fondness for Chesterton on a Borges site?
Well, hmmm, the second. I've never read a word of -Sandman-; I suppose I should. Though I cottoned to Gaiman right away as an interesting short story writer. That "Troll Bridge" (?) keeps coming back to me at the oddest moments.
