Description
Gilbert K. Chesterton wrote The Flying Inn as a comic novel, printed at New York in 1914. A list of his past books at the front runs from The Napoleon of Notting Hill to The Innocence of Father Brown.
Chesterton sets his tale in an England where a strict league seeks to stamp out drink and close the inns. One inn sign, saved and carried on a cart, turns into a flag of revolt. Poems, songs, and wild debates fill the road as the inn moves from place to place. The book defends warmth, song, and local custom against cold schemes to rule men's lives.
