Produktbeschreibung

"Sky Island" by L. Frank Baum is a captivating fantasy adventure featuring Trot, a young girl from California, and Button Bright, a boy who possesses a magical umbrella. Together with Cap'n Bill, they embark on a journey that unexpectedly leads them to Sky Island, a unique realm split into two contrasting regions: the Blue Country, a dismal land ruled by the tyrannical Boolooroo, and the Pink Country, a more welcoming and cheerful place. The story takes a tense turn as the protagonists confront the Boolooroo's oppressive rule, facing the terror of being "patched" - a cruel form of punishment. They manage to escape to the Pink Country, where Trot is unexpectedly crowned queen. Embracing her newfound authority, Trot orchestrates a brave rescue mission to reclaim the magic umbrella and liberate Cap'n Bill from captivity. Their adventures in Sky Island highlight themes of courage, resilience, and the triumph of good over evil, set against the backdrop of Baum's rich and imaginative fantasy world. The story concludes with the trio's successful return home, marking the end of their extraordinary escapade.

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).
