The Napoleon of Notting Hill, like so many Chesterton novels, deftly straddles the fence between humor and philosophy. The place is London, in the far-future year of 1984. Inexplicably, not too much has changed since the turn of the century — except that the king is chosen at random. Things quickly take a turn for the worse when the people randomly select an imbecile who only cares about a good joke.
With the new prankster king in place, the novel continues on with surprisingly action-packed breeziness, exploring themes of identity, patriotism, politics, and government.

    If you look at a thing nine hun­dred and ninety-nine times, you are per­fectly safe; if you look at it the thou­sandth time, you are in fright­ful danger of see­ing it for the first time.

      What a farce is this mod­ern lib­er­al­ity! Free­dom of speech means prac­tic­ally, in our mod­ern civil­isa­tion, that we must only talk about un­im­port­ant things. We must not talk about re­li­gion, for that is il­liberal; we must not talk about bread and cheese, for that is talk­ing shop; we must not talk about death, for that is de­press­ing; we must not talk about birth, for that is in­del­ic­ate. It can­not last.

        The gro­cer sat for some little while, with dim eyes and his mouth open, look­ing rather like a fish.
