NOTES

Erewhon Revisited' the sequel to 'Erewhon', Samuel Butler's acclaimed first novel, finds adventurer Higgs returning to the mysterious, distant land of Erewhon. There he discovers its people ruled by a religious cult inspired by his hot-air balloon escape thirty years earlier. Devious professors Hanky and Panky have invented a new religion called 'Sunchildism' and Higgs, the unwitting 'Sun Child,' is not welcome. The professors are determined to preserve their grip on Erewhonians leaving Higgs in mortal danger. With the help of his newfound son, Higgs must once again escape Erewhon if he is to survive. Butler's humorous, perceptive book is a penetrating satire of Christianity in Victorian England and is still as relevant and fresh today. 'Erewhon Revisited' is Samuel Butler's last novel
