A comic novel by G. K. Chesterton, published in 1904, set in a future London where a king is chosen by lottery. When the new monarch revives the city's old local pageantry as a jest, the mock-heroic game begins to take on a life of its own. Worth listening for its witty paradoxes and playful meditation on patriotism and imagination.
