Description
In a future London where tradition reigns supreme and technology has stagnated, a whimsical election process places an unlikely figure on the throne. Auburn, a historian with a penchant for the past, finds himself crowned King of England, tasked with navigating a kingdom governed by ancient customs and peculiar traditions. As he grapples with his newfound power, he must contend with the escalating rivalry between the boroughs, each vying for dominance under his reign. This satirical tale explores themes of identity, tradition, and the absurdities of power, all delivered with Chesterton's signature wit and philosophical depth.
