Sky Island (1912) was the second of three titles written by L. Frank Baum.
Baum had hoped to end the Oz series in 1910 and the following year he introduced Trot and Cap’n Bill in The Sea Fairies.
This story is about a spunky girl from California, named “Trot”, and her companion, the old sailorman, Cap’n Bill.
In Sky Island, they journey to an island in the sky by means of an enchanted umbrella belonging to Button Bright, a character who first appeared in The Road to Oz (1909).
The trio is then captured by the Boolaroo of the Blues, a monarch who is both comical and dangerous, escape to the country of the “Pinks”, and eventually regain the magic umbrella and return back to earth.
This is one of L. Frank Baum’s best fantasy books and contains enough not-so-veiled commentary on race and politics to interest adults as well.
However, it (and The Sea Fairies) did not sell as well as the Oz books, and Baum resumed writing Oz in 1913. He subsequently brought Trot and Cap’n Bill to Oz in 1915 in The Scarecrow of Oz.
