Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey

De: Ingersoll Lockwood

Narrado por: Gildart Jackson

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-listener-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 US President Donald Trump has had access to a time machine.

Better than LF Baum’s OZ series

This author describes new lands and people so well that you really can imagine being there.

Interesting in its classic design. Fun read.

Fair story which draws you in with good descriptions and unique characters and settings.

artfully performed children's story

much like Alice in wonderland or Jules verne stories. very interesting observations of human nature

Fantastic!

This is really a fascinating book. So good I listened to it twice in a week. You can certainly get lost in the story.

Not as advertised

The book is good, but it is not as I was told. I fail to see any comparison with our president, other than they share the name Trump. Still it is an entertaining book of a boys adventure under the crust of the Earth.
