Description: Auberon Quin is chosen as the new King and, in order to amuse himself, he institutes elaborate costumes for London's provosts. Only one earnest man takes the rallying cry for regional pride to heart, however: Adam Wayne, the Napoleon of Notting Hill. Author G. K. Chesterton's clever writing is at its most delightful in this novel, published in 1904 but set in 1984 London. Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936) was an English writer, philosopher and art critic who created the fictional priest-detective Father Brown. George Bernard Shaw called him a "man of colossal genius".
