A novel of 1907 in which the narrator is the racing car Champion itself, recounting adventures among human characters in a tradition of object-narrated fiction; illustrated with eight plates by W. E. Webster. Published by Cassell and Company in the same year as the American edition (G. W. Dillingham Co., New York), this Edwardian title occupies an unusual position as a work of early automotive fiction rather than factual motoring literature, and is of interest to collectors of both motoring and Edwardian popular fiction.
