Then Beggars Could Ride

"For most of his life, Newton McClintok had lived in the American flapper era. He might have been an ancient Roman or a Victorian Englishman. He could have lived his life in any time or place he chose--or at least, an almost perfect replica of it. But for Newton McClintok, life in this dream world brought only discontentment. After an unsuccessful suicide attempt, he embarked on a journey through the ages to find his own special Utopia--only to discover that the journey never ends."--Pg. [4] of cover.
