Miss MacIntosh herself, who hails from What Cheer, Iowa, and seems downright and normal, with an incorruptible sense of humor and the desire to put an end to phantoms; Catherine Cartwheel, the opium lady, a recluse who is shut away in a great New England seaside house and entertains imaginary guests; Mr. Spitzer, the lawyer, musical composer and mystical space traveler, a gentle man, wholly unsure of himself and of reality; his twin brother Peron, the gay and raffish gambler and virtuoso in the world of sports; Cousin Hannah, the horsewoman, balloonist, mountain-climber and militant Boston feminist, known as Al Hamad through all the seraglios of the East; Titus Bonebreaker of Chicago, wild man of God dreaming of a heavenly crown; the very efficient Christian hangman, Mr. Weed of the Wabash River Valley; a featherweight champion who meets his equal in a graveyard--these are a few who live with phantasmagorical vividness in the pages of Miss MacIntosh, My Darling.

‘For seventy years now Desert Island Discs has managed that rare feat – to be both enduring and relevant. By casting away the biggest names of the day in science, business, politics, showbiz, sport and the arts, it presents a cross-sectional snapshot of the times in which we live. As the decades have passed, the programme has kept pace; never frozen in time yet always, somehow, comfortingly the same.’ Kirsty Young BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs celebrates its seventieth birthday in 2012. Since the programme’s deviser Roy Plomley interviewed comedian Vic Oliver in January 1942, nearly 3,000 distinguished people from all walks of life have been stranded on the mythical island, accompanied by only eight records, one book and a luxury. Here the story of one of BBC Radio 4’s favourite programmes is chronicled through a special selection of castaways. Roy Plomley, inventor of the programme as well as its presenter for over forty years, quizzes the young Cliff Richard about ‘these rather frenzied movements’ the 1960s pop sensation makes on the stage. Robert Maxwell tells Plomley’s successor Michael Parkinson that ‘I will have left the world a slightly better place by having lived in it.’ Diana Mosley assures Sue Lawley that Adolf Hitler was ‘extraordinarily fascinating’ and had mesmeric blue eyes. And Johnny Vegas tugs Kirsty Young’s heart-strings with his account of a childhood so impoverished that family pets were fair game: ‘My dad had always claimed that rabbits were livestock, but we’d never eaten one before.’ Desert Island Discs is much more than a radio programme. It is a unique and enduringly popular take on our lives and times – and this extensively illustrated book tells in rich detail the colourful and absorbing story of an extraordinary institution.

They come across a garden island full of strange plants and a flower that can heal, as well as a frozen island with detailed ice sculptures. There are some problems on the trip. If the team loses their map, they will have to rely on their knowledge and instincts to find their way around the unknown areas.

Chapter 1: What They Found The exciting and interesting beginning of "Sky Islands," a gripping book, gets the reader interested. Scientist Professor Elm, who is known for his strange habits and insatiable curiosity, is the first person to find out about a secret that lies far above the earth. One clear night, Professor Elm looks at the sky through his big, old telescope, which he has carefully adjusted over the years, and he sees something amazing. Shadows flash and dance in the sky for no clear reason. It's not like these shadows are from clouds or birds flying by; they're clear, big, and look like islands floating in the sky! Professor Elm is thrilled about this finding. He knows that what he is seeing could be one of the most important finds ever. His heart beats faster when he thinks about these flying islands. Do they have plants and animals that people have never seen before? Are they full of diamonds or old secrets? His thoughts are full of possibilities, and he chooses to look into these islands to find out what they are hiding. Professor Elm chooses to put together a group of explorers because he knows that a quest this big needs more than just his own knowledge. Each team member would need certain skills to stay alive and find their way around these uncharted parts of the sky. He thinks about Lily, a young, very smart guide who can read maps and compasses better than anyone else. Lily is a great choice for this trip because she has always been interested in new things and exploring the unknown. Then there's Captain Hawk, a skilled pilot who has been flying in bad weather for a long time. Captain Hawk is known for being able to keep calm and think straight when things get tough. His knowledge would be very helpful as they flew their Starling through uncharted territory and any possibly dangerous weather that might be around these mysterious sky islands. Professor Elm tells his group what he plans to do and what he has found. Lily and Captain Hawk are both excited and amazed by the idea of finding new worlds right above them. They quickly decide to join the trip because they are interested and love the thrill of the unknown. As a group, they start getting ready for the trip by going over their gear, looking at star charts, and making a plan for how they will get there. On the day of leaving, there is a clear mix of worry and excitement. Their strong and reliable Starling has everything they need for their trip, like food, safety gear, navigational tools, and, of course, Professor Elm's reliable telescope. As the team gets on, everyone feels both the unbridled excitement of the trip ahead and the weight of what they don't know. The group sees the ground disappear under them as the Starling takes off and soars higher and higher into the sky. The sky is so big that it goes on forever. The air up here is cool and crisp, and it feels great to be free. Professor Elm sets up his telescope in the cockpit because he can't wait to see the flying islands for the first time. The team is keeping an eye out for any sign of the strange shapes that Professor Elm saw through his telescope. This makes the trip to the sky islands both exciting and nerve-wracking. After traveling for hours, Lily's sharp eyes pick out something far away. It's one of the sky islands, and it looks just like Professor Elm said it would—a big, green flying mass that can be seen from far away. You can feel the excitement in the Starling as they get closer and get ready to land and explore the unknown. This is just the start of a wonderful journey that will undoubtedly be full of obstacles, new experiences, and learning. The team knows that on each island they visit, they will find secrets that will change how they see the world above and below ground. This is the beginning of a trip that neither of them will soon forget. It will be full of the thrill of discovery and the bond of friendship that will grow stronger as they face new challenges together. Chapter 2: The First Climb In the exciting adventure "Sky Islands," Professor Elm, Lily, a young guide, and Captain Hawk, an experienced pilot, set out on their first trip to the mysterious floating islands with a group of skilled explorers. Their plane, the Starling, isn't a regular jet; it's full of cool sensors and tools that were made just for studying these fantastic sky islands. Strong binoculars, environmental sensors for checking the air and weather, and safe harnesses are all in the kit so you can explore the floating scenery. There is a mix of tense expectation and excitement during the first climb. The Starling's engines start to roar, and the ground slowly gives way under them. Above them, a big blue sky opens up. As they fly higher, they break through a layer of fluffy clouds. The clouds then part, showing what will surely be their first stop: a beautiful island with woods that floats eerily in the sky. This island doesn't make any sense at all, with its wide views and lush green forests that look like they're floating in the air with no clear support. The team needs a moment to gather their thoughts because they are seeing something very interesting and strange. Captain Hawk carefully brings the Starling closer as he gets ready to land on a clear, flat part of the island. When the crew gets off the ship after a smooth landing, they are amazed by how much life is around them. There are sounds of birds singing and leaves moving in the fresh air. Moss is soft on the ground, and there are brightly colored flowers all over it that look like they are glowing from the inside. Above, the tall trees block the sun so that the forest floor has warm, shaded patterns made by it. The searchers are shocked by the strange plants they find; they have never seen anything like them on the ground. The leaves of some of the plants are shiny, and the flowers of others give off soft, shimmering light. As they go deeper into the bush, they come across some strange and interesting animals. Small, furry animals run across the forest floor, interested in the newcomers. Birds with bright feathers sing beautiful songs. The group walks slowly so as not to upset the natural balance of this floating paradise. Professor Elm, who is very interested in science, gathers and paints strange plants and animals. Lily carefully plans their route with her compass and map to make sure they don't get lost and see as much as possible. To make sure they can leave safely when the time comes, Captain Hawk keeps an eye on the weather and the Starling. The friends find a small creek in the woods. The water is so clean it's like glass. They put the cool, tasty water in their bottles and are thankful that nature provided for them. The sound of water running adds to the peaceful atmosphere of the island, making it seem like it is in a different world. As they look around, they find what looks like the remains of an ancient civilization: stone buildings that have been eaten by the trees and are now covered in moss and vines. These artifacts show that these sky islands used to be home to people who were able to live in this higher environment, giving the history of these islands a mysterious feel. This first island adds to the mystery of the sky islands and also gives you a lot of different feelings. The islands float, but how? Were they never inhabited, or did prehistoric peoples formerly live there? What happened to them? The explorers are inquisitive, and each new discovery increases their hunger for information. The explorers return to the Starling at the conclusion of the day, their minds racing with everything they've learned. They go, leaving the floating island behind, but they carry memories and information that will aid them in their future journeys. This first trip into the unknown has been a major success, piquing interest and setting the door for further research into the fascinating sky islands.
