Synopsis
Excerpt from The Flying Inn
Why Should there be a Bull he cried, prolonging the word in his own way. Why Should there be a Bull in connexion with a festive locality? Who thinks about a Bull in gardens of delight? What need is there of a Bull when we watch the tulip-tinted maidens dance or pour the sparkling sherbet? You yourselves, my friends - and he looked around radiantly, as if addressing an enormous mob you yourselves have a proverb, It is not calculated to promote prosperity to have a Bull in a china-shop.' Equally, my friends, it would not be calculated to promote prosperity to have a Bull in a wine-shop. All this is clear.
He stuck his umbrella upright in the sand and struck one finger against another, like a man getting to business at last.

About the Author
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) was a British essayist, novelist and journalist. Known for his indomitable use of paradox, Chesterton stood out as one of the foremost Christian apologists of the early 20th century and an inestimable influence on a later generation of writers, including Archbishop Fulton Sheen and C. S. Lewis.

The Flying Inn (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book centers around inns, pubs, and their socio-cultural significance in Britain, and how they have been affected by the temperance movement and the emerging state regulation of alcohol consumption. The book argues that British inns are historically connected to the influence of the Islamic world, and examines the inn as a microcosm of the British psyche, where good and bad tendencies both reside. The author posits that banning drinking at inns will only drive the activity underground, thereby creating more problems than it solves. The book is as curious, mischievous, and unpredictable as an evening spent down the pub. The author brings alive a panoramic cast of pre-World War II British society, from anti-alcohol zealots and politicians to pacifist vegetarians, Irish revolutionaries, Balkan revolutionaries, feminists, neo-pagans, conspiracy theorists, and hobbits. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331070290_0
