When the government cracks down on alcohol sales, two men decide to
leave their small fishing village to avoid the law and find new
opportunities. The Flying Inn is an irreverent satire that delivers
a unique commentary on power and politics. Humphrey Pump, also
known as "Hump," is a bar owner whose business is undercut by
strict alcohol regulations. Adult beverages can only be sold when a
pub sign in present. But instead of adhering to the rules, he hits
the road with a sign and barrel of rum in tow. Pump is joined by
Patrick Dalroy, an entertaining companion, who is just as committed
to his wandering way of life. Despite their attempts to escape
police, the rogue partners are eventually roped into a much larger
plot. The Flying Inn is a daring piece of speculative fiction that
uses satire to balance its more serious elements. Published in
1914, the story is greatly influence by the social and political
concepts of its day. This gives readers insight into the many fears
surrounding early twentieth century government. With an
eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this
edition of The Flying Inn is both modern and readable.
