Synopsis

Ingersoll Lockwood invented the fictional character Baron Trump in 1890 for a two-part sci-fi/fantasy series about a privileged boy who undertakes a sequence of fantastic voyages. The style of the Baron Trump series-a mix of fantasy and young-reader-oriented science fiction-anticipated and may have influenced L. Frank Baum's Oz series. The second in that series, Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey, describes Baron's trip to the earth's interior via an opening in the Russian Arctic. During the journey, Baron and his dog Bulger encounter many lost races, including the Transparent Folk and the Rattlebrains. The unusual prescience of Ingersoll's narrative has given rise to a conspiracy theory that U.S. President Donald Trump has had access to a time machine.

Written in 1893 ! Full disclosure: I didn't read the book in depth due to highly opaque prose. I skimmed it to focus more on young, wealthy Baron... whose travel-map was written by a man named -- (drumroll please) -- Don. Interesting quotes : --------------------- “He implores thee to break away from......more

Came because of the title, stayed because it was a fun read. Good for ages tween on up. Reminded me of Gulliver's Travels in style.
