Beschreibung
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.

Über den Autor
G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was a prolific English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic. He is best known in mystery circles as the creator of the fictional priest-detective Father Brown and for the metaphysical thriller The Man Who Was Thursday. Often referred to as "the prince of paradox," Chesterton frequently made his points by turning familiar sayings and proverbs inside out.Chesterton attended the Slade School of Art, a department of University College London, where he took classes in illustration and literature, though he did not complete a degree in either subject. In 1895, at the age of twenty-one, he began working for the London publisher George Redway. A year later he moved to another publisher, T. Fisher Unwin, where he undertook his first work in journalism, illustration, and literary criticism.In addition to writing fifty-three Father Brown stories, Chesterton authored articles and books of social criticism, philosophy, theology, economics, literary criticism, biography, and poetry.
