| Summary |
"Sky Island" by L. Frank Baum is a fantasy novel written during the early 20th century. This whimsical tale continues the adventures of Trot and Cap'n Bill, characters introduced in Baum's previous work, "The Sea Fairies." The story invites readers into an enchanting world filled with magic and wonder, where the protagonists embark on thrilling escapades, encountering fantastical creatures and curious characters. At the start of the story, Trot meets a boy named Button-Bright by the Pacific Ocean, who claims to have traveled from Philadelphia using a peculiar magic umbrella. This introduction sets the stage for further exploration and introduces Cap'n Bill, Trot's older companion. As they converse, Button-Bright shares his incredible experience of flying with the umbrella, capturing Trot's excitement. When Cap'n Bill joins them, their journey leads to a promise of adventure that hints at their eventual travels to Sky Island. This opening section effectively establishes the whimsical tone of the narrative and builds curiosity about the forthcoming magical escapades awaiting the characters.
