In the old days, when the world was young, there were no automobiles nor flying-machines to make one wonder; nor were there railway trains, nor telephones, nor mechanical inventions of any sort to keep people keyed up to a high pitch of excitement. Men and women lived simply and quietly. They were Nature's children, and breathed fresh air into their lungs instead of smoke and coal gas; and tramped through green meadows and deep forests instead of riding in street cars; and went to bed when it grew dark and rose with the sun - which is vastly different from the present custom. Having no books to read they told their adventures to one another and to their little ones; and the stories were handed down from generation to generation and reverently believed.

Before her eyes appears a handsome young knight: Prince Marvel. Setting out in search of adventure, he finds it aplenty on the enchanted isle, as he soon meets King of the Thieves Wul-Takim, and the fearsome giant, Red Rogue. An innocent among mortals though he is, Prince Marvel sets things right -- or maybe just topsy-turvy! The Island of Yew is set at some undisclosed place "in the middle of the sea." Later commentators have sometimes placed it in Baum's Nonestic Ocean with the landmass that contains the Land of Oz and its associated countries but the book itself does not reference this.

The most unusual opportunity presents itself: the chance to transform an immortal being into a mortal. Before her eyes appears a handsome young knight: Prince Marvel. Setting out in search of adventure, he finds it aplenty on the enchanted isle, as he soon meets King of the Thieves Wul-Takim, and the fearsome giant, Red Rogue. An innocent among mortals though he is, Prince Marvel sets things right -- or maybe just topsy-turvy! The Island of Yew is set at some undisclosed place "in the middle of the sea.

The Enchanted Island of Yew: Whereon Prince Marvel Encountered the High Ki of Twi and Other Surprising People is a children's fantasy novel written by L. Frank Baum, illustrated by Fanny Y. Cory, and published by the Bobbs-Merrill Company in 1903.

Sesely, daughter of Baron Merd of Heg, and two companions are enjoying a picnic in the Forest of Lurla when they are accosted by a fairy. The fairy, bored with centuries of insipid fairy life, amazes the girls by pleading to be changed into a mortal. Though the girls are surprised that they might have the power to do such a thing, the fairy explains how it can be done. The girls agree to transform the fairy into a human boy for the space of one year. The newly-minted male is dubbed Prince Marvel, and, furnished with fairy arms and armor and an enchanted horse (a deer transformed), sets out to have adventures.
