Gullible’s Travels is a satirical novel written by Ring Lardner. The book follows the adventures of a naive and gullible man named Gullible Jones as he travels across America in the early 20th century. Along the way, Gullible encounters a variety of characters, each with their own unique quirks and personalities. As Gullible journeys from town to town, he becomes increasingly entangled in a series of absurd and hilarious situations. He falls for various scams and cons, gets involved in a bank robbery, and unwittingly becomes a part of a traveling medicine show. Throughout the novel, Lardner uses humor and satire to comment on the social and political issues of the time, including the rise of consumer culture and the changing role of women in society. Overall, Gullible’s Travels is a witty and entertaining novel that offers a humorous and insightful look at life in early 20th century America.The Poinciana station’s a couple hundred yards from one end o’ the hotel, and that means it’s close to five miles from the clerk’s desk. By the time we’d registered and been gave our key and marathoned another five miles or so to where our room was located at, I was about ready for the inquest. But the Missus was full o’ pep and wild to get down to breakfast and look over our stable mates. She says we would eat without changin’ our clo’es; people’d forgive us for not dressin’ up on account o’ just gettin’ there.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
