About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Flying Inn (Version 2) by G. K. Chesterton. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. Captain Patrick Dalroy and Humphrey Pump take to the road in a donkey cart with a cask of good rum, a giant round of cheese, and the signpost from his pub, The Flying Inn. Together, the two men extend good cheer to an increasingly restless populace as they attempt to evade Prohibition. (Summary by Victoria Bell
