Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. Chesterton, G. K. The flying inn. New York: Dover Publications, Inc., 2001. An unabridged reprint of the edition published by John Lane in 1914. Paperback, VG. Light shelfwear to cover corners. Binding strong and tight. 320pp. + publisher catalogue; contents clean and bright. The Flying Inn is set in a future England where the temperance movement has allowed a bizarre form of Progressive Islam to dominate the political and social life of the country. Because of this, alcohol sales to the poor are effectively prohibited, while the rich can get alcoholic drinks "under a medical certificate". The plot centres on the adventures of Humphrey Pumph (see also the Humphrey pump) and Captain Patrick Dalroy, who roam the country in their cart with a barrel of rum in an attempt to evade prohibition, exploiting loopholes in the law to temporarily prevent the police taking action against them. Eventually the heroes and their followers foil an attempted coup by an Islamic military force. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
