1893 Illustrated by Charles Howard Johnson. an opening in Arctic Russia conveys Trump into the interior world. He passes through the strange countries of the Transparent Folk and the Rattlebrains among others. This is a lost race story of the satirica.

I‘m trying to read this .. more to come as I get farther into it

candority I saw the conspiracy theories surrounding this book - is that why you are reading it? 5y
Lauraandherbooks @candority yes when I heard of it I was flabbergasted... and after hearing the conspiracy theories I was enthralled so I definitely want to dig deeper into the actual conspiracy theories but in the meantime I‘m quickly reading over this 5y
candority Yeah, I didn‘t dig too deep into it either, but I might have to! I‘ll be interested to see what you think of the book! 5y

Lauraandherbooks @candority I posted my review of the book.. i bailed on it before i was able to get very far into it.. i kept falling asleep!! I finally gave up on trying to read it, which for me is huge cus i hate not finishing a book! 🥴 5y
candority I saw that! It‘s too bad it wasn‘t more interesting. At least other people have put in the work to read it, so we can just read what they write! 5y
Lauraandherbooks @candority yes that‘s true but I wanted to read for myself to form my own opinion but this is so difficult to get thru.. i will try skimming but old English is not easy to speed read thru 5y

I like this book. It's like the White House meets Journey to the Center of the Earth meets Downton Abbey...in the 1890s. I like it a lot. Old English YA rocks!! #noanxietyyet

Wbabdullah Oh, and I love the exhortation to listen to the people. I wonder if our "first family" will in fact, listen to the people. 7y
Lauraandherbooks This weirds me out 🥴 5y

"Remember, little baron, the motto of the Trumps, Per Ardua ad Astra--the pathway to glory is strewn with pitfalls and dangers--but the comforting thought shall ever be mine, that when thy keen intelligence fails, Bulger's unerring instinct will be there to guide thee."
???(Um, Bulger is the dog).

Ok so this weekend, I was at my MIL's and she tells me about this book. It's about a kid named Baron Trump, who goes on a marvelous journey to Russia on a time machine. In the sequel, entitled "The Last President", there are riots at a 5th Avenue Hotel in NY. Um, the issue with this book is it wasn't written recently. It was written in...1893! Some folks swear that Trump has a time machine, but I think the author may have had premonitions. WDYT???

Wbabdullah What to do you think? I'm gonna read this just in case the author had a psychic connection to the future so I can be prepared...there's an article on the book with links to the text here: http://www.snopes.com/baron-trumps-marvelous-underground-journey/ 7y
