Synopsis "the flying inn"

The Flying Inn is a curious novel written by Gilbert K. Chesterton set in a future England where a bizarre form of "Progressive" Islam has triumphed and dominates the political and social life of the country. According to the Distributist Review: "Perhaps prophetical more so than prosaic the Flying Inn is one of those books which should rank among the classics."
