The trade between Britain and Europe, and the United States, has dealt in many commodities, bullion and whale-oil, slaves and coffee, scotch and crack. But down the centuries the most flourishing traffic has been in mutual fantasy: on the one hand Dracula's castle, the Sistine Chapel, thatched cottages and cream teas; on the other, the wide prairie, the thunderous Pacific, the Chisholm Trail and Route 66.
