Summary

A grandfather takes his two grandchildren to New York to tour the city and see a Yankee's game. Not in the present, but through the aegis of Harry Houdini's lost magic wand they travel back in time to the last week of September, 1927 to experience life in the Jazz Age and to see Babe Ruth hit his record-breaking 60th home run.Staying at the Algonquin Hotel, at lunch thanks to the kids, they make friends with Harpo Marx, Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley and other famous writers and critics, the hotel's world famous Round Table lunch group. Touring the city, they meet other famous and soon-to-be-famous people, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Cagney, and a certain Japanese Navy Midshipman to name a few.These chance encounters and the seemingly innocent trip in time unleashes a series of events that begin to spin out of control. The reputation of one of the greatest baseball players of all time, the outcome of World War Two and the future as we know it is in serious danger!Based on actual events, this tale is an educational, historically accurate 'snapshot' of life in the Jazz Age highlighting manners and morals, Prohibition, Wall Street, technology, transportation, entertainment, sports and world affairs in 1927.Schedules, ocean liner arrivals/departures, Theater, showtimes, prices, transport (rail, sea and air) are accurately depicted. Events such as the goodwill visit to New York by two Japanese training cruisers, their officers attending the Yankee's game and of course the immortal Babe Ruth's record-breaking home run actually happened. All the characters all were (or plausibly could have been) there at that time, the last week of September, 1927.I hope you will enjoy this and other books to come!
