PR4453.C4 N3 1991. The Napoleon of Notting Hill is a novel written by G. K. Chesterton in 1904, set in a nearly unchanged London in 1984.

Introduction. (1904) Dedicated To Hilaire Belloc. For every tiny town or place. God made the stars especially; Babies look up with owlish face. And see them tangled in a tree: You saw a moon from Sussex Downs, A Sussex moon, untravelled still, I saw a moon that was the town's, The largest lamp on Campden Hill. Yea; Heaven is everywhere at home.
