About this listen

 Step into the intriguing world of The Flying Inn, a captivating novel by G.K. Chesterton first published in 1914. Set in a dystopian future England where an unusual form of Progressive Islam has taken hold, the story explores a society where alcohol is banned and the everyday life of its citizens is profoundly impacted. Follow the daring escapades of Humphrey Pump and Captain Patrick Dalroy as they navigate the challenges of Prohibition, traveling the countryside in their cart with a barrel of rum, cleverly exploiting legal loopholes to stay one step ahead of the authorities.
