About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Family Flivvers to Frisco by Frederic Van de Water. Read in English by Mark Harrington. This is the light-hearted account of the author's trip cross-country, with his wife and small child, from New York City to San Francisco, in a 'flivver', slang for a small, inexpensive, and often somewhat undependable car (in this case, a model-T Ford). Despite dire predictions from friendly advisors before departure, the trio enjoy 37 days of travel, camping, while getting a better view of 'real America'. - Summary by Mark Harrington
