In 1904, Great Britain was at the elevation of its success; but G. K. Chesterton noticed the drudgery of capitalism and bureaucracy eating away at the eccentricity and spontaneity of the human being spirit. In The Napoleon of Notting Hill, his first novel, Chesterton creates a witty satire of staid administration, set in a London into the future. Auberon Quinn, the clerk who looks like a mix between a baby and an owl and is often seen standing on his brain, is 1 day advised that he has been randomly picked to be His Majesty the Ruler. He decides to turn London into a medieval carnival for his own amusement - with delightful results.
