A witty and surreal novel of the future.

In a rather dull stuck-in-a-rut future, a prankster chosen randomly to be King of England revives the old ways and inadvertently arouses romantic patriotism and civil war between the boroughs of London.

Notting Hill Forever

"Lord! What a strange world in which a man cannot remain unique even by taking the trouble to go mad!"

Will be chewing on this one for awhile. Quite a strange read, like some kind of absurd dream. Yet it is absurdly relevant over a hundred years later. My first Chesterton and not my last.
