The Baron Trump Novels: Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey & Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger

Original and unabridged with all original illustrations.In the 1890s Ingersoll Lockwood authored a series of childrens books about the escapades of his character the young Baron Trump: Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and his Wonderful Dog Bulger and Baron Trumps Marvellous Underground Journey. The series followed a literary trend of the time which had child protagonists adventuring to enchanted lands and encountering fantastic beings. Lewis Carrolls Alice in Wonderland and L. Frank Baums The Wonderful Wizard of Oz are two famous examples of this genre.Lockwoods Baron is an aristocratic youth bored with his life of luxury in Castle Trump. Searching for adventure Baron travels to Russia to discover an underground world beneath his feet. He journeys downward and finds himself lost in peculiar settings surrounded by the strange inhabitants of this new world. The stories follow his adventures and eventual struggle to find his way back to the surface he left behind.The Baron Trump novels were obscured by the more successful childrens books of the time. Lockwoods tall tales seemed destined for the literary dust bin but the election of Donald Trump in 2016 renewed interest in these works due to the Presidents youngest sons name: Barron Trump. Now back in print the Baron Trump series is enjoying considerable interest and success.
