Synopsis

Step into the whimsical and thought-provoking world of "The Napoleon of Notting Hill" by G. K. Chesterton. Set in a fantastical future London where monarchy is chosen by lottery, the story follows Auberon Quin, an eccentric king who turns the city into a patchwork of medieval-style city-states. When Adam Wayne, the passionate and idealistic Provost of Notting Hill, takes his local patriotism to fervent heights, humor and conflict abound. Chesterton's satirical tale is a brilliant exploration of individualism, tradition, and the unanticipated power of imagination.

About G. K. Chesterton

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was one of the most influential English writers of the twentieth century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography,Christian apologetics, fantasy, and detective fiction. Chesterton is well known for his reasoned apologetics, and even those who disagree with him have recognized the universal appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian and came to identify such a position with Catholicism more and more, eventually converting to Roman Catholicism. George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" according to Time magazine, said of him, "He was a man of colossal genius."
