The Wit, Whimsy, and Wisdom of G. K. Chesterton, Volume 1

This volume includes three classic G. K. Chesterton stories: The Napoleon of Notting Hill is a socio-political fantasy involving a lottery-picked king and a joke that becomes reality. The Flying Inn is another political fantasy, with an attempt to create prohibition in the UK, and a small group of rebels who travel the country one step ahead of the authorities. The Trees of Pride is a mystery tale involving strange transplanted trees and the superstition accompanying them.
