A satire set in a future England, in which a neomedievalist contest among London neighborhoods takes a disastrous turn. When Auberon Quin, a prankster nostalgic for Merrie Olde England, becomes king of that country in 1984, he mandates that each of London’s neighborhoods become an independent state, complete with unique local costumes.
