Description:  The last heir of a Boston banking family wakes up in Vienna in the time leading up to the Second World War. He meets with his father, grandfather, Sigmund Freud, Mark Twain, Gustav Mahler and others. The Little Book follows the character of Wheeler Burden, a wealthy 80's rock idol that suddenly finds himself in 1897 Vienna. Wheeler quickly uses his knowledge of the late 19th century and a set of stolen clothes to fit in with the environment. Soon Wheeler has met not only Sigmund Freud but also his own father. However the mystery of Wheeler's time travel still remains, and his impact on fin-de-sicle Vienna may have deeper implications than he realized.
