The Enchanted Island of Yew: Whereon Prince Marvel Encountered the High Ki of Twi and Other Surprising People
1903
A fairy trapped in the Fairy Bower grows so weary of immortality that she begs three mortal girls to transform her into a human knight. Thus Prince Marvel is born, a gallant innocent armed with courage but no wisdom, stumbling across the enchanted Isle of Yew in search of glory. He encounters a thief king, a fearsome giant, the mysterious High Ki of Twi, and countless other marvels, each encounter more topsy-turvy than the last. Baum's prose crackles with pure invention, trading Oz's grand scope for something intimate and mischievous: a picaresque fairy tale where the hero bumbles toward heroism, sometimes setting things right, sometimes making things worse. It's a book about what we sacrifice for experience, and whether innocence survives its own adventures.
