Book Description

Once there was an enchanted island in the middle of the sea. It was called the Isle of Yew. And in it were five important kingdoms ruled by men, and many woodland dells and forest glades and pleasant meadows and grim mountains inhabited by fairies.

From the fairies some of the men had learned wonderful secrets, and had become magicians and sorcerers, with powers so great that the entire island was reputed to be one of enchantments. Who these men were the common people did not always know; for while some were kings and rulers, others lived quietly hidden away in forests or mountains, and seldom or never showed themselves. Indeed, there were not so many of these magicians as people thought, only it was so hard to tell them from common folk that every stranger was regarded with a certain amount of curiosity and fear.

A delightful book sure to please anyone looking for another magical world. It's decided not Oz, but it's a fun and rewarding book, full of magic and joy, and it's certain to please Baum's many fans.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent novel, not-so-good illustrations, Janv. 11 2000
This review is from: Enchanted Island of Yew (Paperback)
The novel is a typical Baum fantasy, that is, carelessly plotted, but filled with wonderful creations (there is more invention in one Baum novel than in a basket of trilogies by any current fantasy writer), and often amusing (the reformation of the thieves is hilarious). As for this particular edition: No one can fault the publisher for being stingy with George O'Connor's illustrations--there are approximately fifty--but that is not necessarily a good thing. O'Connor's work seems crude to me, and he has an annoying tendency to stray from the text--for example, the hero, Prince Marvel, is repeatedly described as "small" and "slight," yet O'Connor consistently depicts someone who could wrestle Superman.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Lovely Light-heartedness., Aoû 10 1998
Par Un client
This review is from: Enchanted Island of Yew (Paperback)
Yes, Baum has done it again. This book is a lot different from many of his others, yet maintains his odd magic. The only thing that I didn't like is that the main character is already so powerful that none of the bad guys pose much of a challange to him. But really, any Baum reader will love it.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Baum's other magical land, Déc 1 1997
Par Un client
This review is from: Enchanted Island of Yew (Paperback)
Baum whisks us to another world, with the androgynous and entrancing Prince Marvel, who pines to become mortal. This is one of Baum's "non-Oz" best! Several parts of the book shine with ingenuity, and only from the pen of Baum could this have come to paper. No other author of children's novels writes like this, and no other author can bring to the world such a magical feast like THE ENCHANTED ISLAND OF YEW. A great recommendation for a young one, or for anyone who desires light-hearted, escapist, high fantasy.
