The Family Flivvers to Frisco

About this film

LibriVox recording of The Family Flivvers to Frisco by Frederic Van de Water. Read in English by Mark Harrington. This is the light-hearted account of the author's trip cross-country, with his wife and small child, from New York City to San Francisco, in a 'flivver', slang for a small, inexpensive, and often somewhat undependable car (in this case, a model-T Ford). Despite dire predictions from friendly advisors before departure, the trio enjoy 37 days of travel, camping, while getting a better view of 'real America'. - Summary by Mark Harrington For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
