  • "Chesterton's first novel is set in London in 1984, eighty years in the future, where political indifference has swept over the land, and a new King jokingly decrees a revival of medieval heraldry throughout London. The ruse is taken seriously by the title character, Adam Wayne, who aims to fight to the finish to defend Notting Hill. At once humorous and absorbing, it is a fine example of Chesterton's first-rate storytelling."@en

  • "The Napoleon of Notting Hill is a novel written by G.K. Chesterton in 1904, set in a nearly-unchanged London in 1984. Though the novel deals with the future, it concentrates not on technology nor on totalitarian government but on a government where no one cares what happens, comparable to Fahrenheit 451 in that respect. The dreary succession of randomly selected Kings of England is broken up when Auberon Quin, who cares for nothing but a good joke, is chosen. To amuse himself, he institutes elaborate costumes for the provosts of the districts of London. All are bored by the King's antics exce."@en
