From the author of Wonderful Deeds and Doings of Little Giant Boab and His Talking Raven Tabib; Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey; and, finally his last novel uncannily entitled The Last President. Ingersoll Lockwood invented the fictional character Baron Trump in 1890 for a set of proto-science fiction fantasy novels about a German heir who embarks on a sequence of magnificent voyages. The style of the Baron Trump series anticipated and may have influenced L. Frank Baum's Oz series. The Travel and Adventures of Little Baron Trump describes Baron's trip around the world with his little loyal dog Bulger, meeting new races like the Wind Eaters, Man Hoppers, Round Bodies, and Melodious Sneezers, in as yet undiscovered lands. The uncanny prescience of Ingersoll Lockwood's narratives have given rise to speculation that the unusual parallels to President Donald Trump and his son Barron are explained by his access to a time travel machine. 287 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
