The Flying Inn is a satirical novel by G. K. Chesterton. It is set in a future (at the time of writing) England where a version of “progressive” Islam has dominated the political and social landscape due to aristocratic support. This led to the introduction of a corrupted form of Prohibition. The rich still access alcohol while the places that cater to the poor are shut down through red tape regulation. Ex-tavern owner Humphrey Pump and Irish soldier Captain Patrick Daley fight the draconian laws by transforming Humphrey’s tavern into a wagon carrying a keg of rum and a wheel of cheese, all the while avoiding the authorities that aim to stop them.

The novel was published in 1914 by John Lane in England and Methuen in the United States, with a re-release in 2017 by Ignatius Press. Its conservative message has lead to its unpopularity in contemporary times, however due to recent geopolitical events like mass immigration into Britain, the novel has increasingly referenced, especially by Christian groups
