THE oceans are big and broad. I believe two-thirds of the earth's surface is covered with water. What people inhabit this water has always been a subject of curiosity to the inhabitants of the land. Strange creatures come from the seas at times, and perhaps in the ocean depths are many, more strange than mortal eye has ever gazed upon.This story is fanciful. In it the sea people talk and act much as we do, and the mermaids especially are not unlike the fairies with whom we have learned to be familiar. Yet they are real sea people, for all that, and with the exception of Zog the Magician they are all supposed to exist in the ocean's depths.I am told that some very learned people deny that mermaids or sea-serpents have ever inhabited the oceans, but it would be very difficult for them to prove such an assertion unless they had lived under the water as Trot and Cap'n Bill did in this story.

Sky Island: Being the Further Adventures of Trot and Cap'n Bill after Their Visit to the Sea Fairies is a children's fantasy novel written by L. Frank Baum. A captivating tale by the master of make-believe recounts the further adventures of a little girl named Trot; Cap'n Bill; and their new friend, Button-Bright. Transported by a magic umbrella to an island in the sky, they meet six snub-nosed princesses, discover the King's treasure chamber, and meet Tourmaline the poverty Queen.
The Sea Fairies is a children's fantasy novel written by L. Frank Baum, illustrated by John R. Neill, and published in 1911 by the Reilly & Britton Company, the publisher of Baum's series of Oz books. Baum dedicated the book to the otherwise-unknown "Judith of Randolph, Massachusetts" — most likely one of the child readers who corresponded with the author.

*This Book is annotated (it contains a detailed biography of the author). *This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errors. Sky Island: Being the Further Adventures of Trot and Cap'n Bill after Their Visit to the Sea Fairies is a children's fantasy novel written by L. Frank Baum, and published in 1912 by the Reilly & Britton Company-the same constellation of forces that produced the Oz books in the first decades of the twentieth century. As the full title indicates, Sky Island is a sequel to Baum's The Sea Fairies of 1911. Both books were intended as parts of a projected long-running fantasy series to replace the Oz books. Given the relatively tepid reception of the first book in the series, however, Baum tried to attract young readers by including two characters from his Oz mythos in Sky Island-Button-Bright and Polychrome, originally introduced in The Road to Oz (1909). The book was dedicated to the author's sister, Mary Louise Baum Brewster.
The Sea Fairies and Sky Island, by L. Frank Baum, the author of the famous Oz series ( The Emerald City of Oz, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, etc.), were the beginning of a new series of children s books. * * * * Mayre Griffiths, nicknamed Trot, or sometimes Tiny Trot, is a little girl who lives on the coast of southern California. Her father is the captain of a sailing schooner, and her constant companion is Cap n Bill Weedles, a retired sailor with a wooden leg. Trot and Cap n Bill spend many of their days roaming the beaches near home, or rowing and sailing along the coast. * * * * In The Sea Fairies Trot wishes that she could see a mermaid; her wish is overheard, and granted the next day. The mermaids explain to Trot, and Cap n Bill, that they are benevolent fairies; when they offer Trot a chance to pay a visit to their land in mermaid form, Trot is enthusiastic, and Bill is too loyal to let her go off without him. But the evil Magician Zog is after the mermaids, so what happens when he gets Trot and Cap n Bill, too? * * * * In Sky Island Trot meets a strange little boy with a large umbrella. Button -Bright has been using his family s magic umbrella to take journeys from his Philadelphia home, and has gotten as far as California. The two children, joined by Cap n Bill, decide to take a trip to a nearby island; they call it Sky Island, because it looks like it s halfway in the sky but the umbrella takes them to a different place entirely, a literal island in the sky, where they run afoul of the mean Blues, find equal problems with the nicer Pinks, and must fight a war to get back the Magic Umbrella that the Blues took from them so they can return home. * * * * L. Frank Baum thought Sky Island would probably be remembered as his best work. * * * * In making this volume, we discovered that the Gutenberg eBooks are missing text, have run-together paragraphs, and the punctuation has been altered. This volume contains the full text of the original books, published in 1920, and 1914, respectively, as well as all 164 John R. Neill illustrations. * * * * Check our other Children's, Juvenile, and Adult books at www.FlyingChipmunkPublishing.com, or Like us on Facebook for our latest releases.
