About the Book: ” Sky Island is a children’s fantasy novel written by L. Frank Baum, illustrated by John R. Neill, 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. Trot, a little girl who lives on the coast of southern California, meets a strange little boy with a large umbrella. Button Bright has been using his family’s magic umbrella to take long-range journeys from his Philadelphia home, and he has gotten as far as California. After an explanation of how the magic umbrella works, 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.” (from Wikipedia) About the Author: “Lyman Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American author best known for his children’s books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its sequels. He wrote 14 novels in the Oz series, plus 41 other novels (not including four lost, unpublished novels), 83 short stories, over 200 poems, and at least 42 scripts. He made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and screen; the 1939 adaptation of the first Oz book became a landmark of 20th-century cinema. Born and raised in upstate New York, Baum moved west after an unsuccessful stint as a theater producer and playwright. He and his wife opened a store in South Dakota and he edited and published a newspaper. They then moved to Chicago, where he worked as a newspaper reporter and published children’s literature, coming out with the first Oz book in 1900… to much critical acclaim and financial success. The book was the best-selling children’s book for two years after its initial publication. Baum went on to write thirteen more novels based on the places and people of the Land of Oz.” About the Illustrator: “John Rea Neill ( 1877-1943) was a magazine and children’s book illustrator primarily known for illustrating more than forty stories set in the Land of Oz, including L. Frank Baum’s, Ruth Plumly Thompson’s, and three of his own. Originally, Neill’s illustrations were slightly reminiscent of Denslow’s to bring continuity and familiarity to the characters. However, as the series expanded, Neill brought his own unique flair to the illustrations, showing more artistic representations of the characters as well as beautiful paintings of numerous scenes. In fact, he was later named the Imperial Illustrator of Oz.” (from Wikipedia)We will ship USPS Media Mail with added insurance. For international shipping, please contact us for a quote.
