Produktbeschreibung

In this enthralling story by the "royal historian of Oz," a little girl named Trot and an elderly sailor named Cap'n Bill continue their adventures following their trip to the Sea Fairies. Trot, Cap'n Bill, and their companion, a young kid named Button-bright, were pleased to leave Sky Island, a marvelous fairyland in sky country, after experiencing some bad experiences there. The three travelers are transported to this island in the sky by a magical umbrella. There, they meet the six snub-nosed princesses, find the King's treasure chamber, run into a blue wolf, meet Tourmaline the poverty Queen, and Rosalie the Witch, and ultimately return home after a protracted voyage. This volume is a pleasant addition to Dover's popular series of Oz novels and will please both seasoned Oz readers and those unfamiliar with L. Frank Baum's fantastical worlds

Autorenporträt

Lyman Frank Baum (1856 - 1919), better known by his pen name L. Frank Baum, was an American author chiefly known for his children's books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels and a host of other works (55 novels in total, plus four "lost works", 83 short stories, over 200 poems, an unknown number of scripts, and many miscellaneous writings). His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).
