De qué trata este libro
Rinkitink in Oz is a fantasy novel by L. Frank Baum, published in 1916 as one of his books about the Land of Oz. It grew out of an earlier tale of his about a jolly king, and it was reshaped to join the Oz series. Most of the action takes place far from the Emerald City, among islands and kingdoms at the edge of the fairy world.
The story follows Prince Inga, a young ruler-to-be from the small island of Pingaree, whose peaceful home is attacked by raiders from neighboring islands. Beside him are two odd companions: a fat, laughing king named Rinkitink and a cranky talking goat named Bilbil. You get a quest, a rescue and a lot of humor. You also get a gentle lesson about courage and kindness. Let us begin with the island where it starts.

A peaceful island and a gentle prince
The story begins on Pingaree, a small island whose people live quietly and have little to fear. Its ruler is King Kitticut, and his son Inga is a young prince who is kind and thoughtful. The island is remote and lies far from the great kingdoms of the fairy world.
Baum sets up the place in the way of a fairy tale. Everyone is content, the land is simple and no one expects danger. This calm matters because the rest of the book breaks it. The reader is meant to love the island before it is threatened.
Inga is not a mighty warrior. He is a boy who has grown up among gentle people and has been taught to treat others well. That makes him an unusual hero for a quest, because he does not rely on strength or cunning from the start.
This opening also tells you what kind of book this is. It is a tale with a plain moral shape, in which goodness has to face a rough world. As you listen, watch how Inga changes when that world arrives at his shore.
The sense of safety that surrounds him is the first thing the story takes away.
That’s 1 of 6 key points.
