Ingersoll Lockwood ~6 hr read

The tiny nobleman Baron Trump and his faithful dog Bulger set off on fantastical underground journeys to strange hidden lands, following in the footsteps of his mountain-of-the-Moon-climbing father.

Ingersoll Lockwood's 1889 novel is a whimsical fantasy-adventure for children. Playful, imaginative, of its era. Read it for a charming Victorian juvenile romp, a small aristocrat and his clever dog wandering marvelous subterranean realms, a genial, wonder-filled tale in the tradition of the hollow-earth and fairy-journey stories that delighted young readers of its age.
