Sinopsis

In "On a Lark to the Planets," Frances Trego Montgomery invites readers on an imaginative cosmic journey that blends elements of adventure and science fiction. With a whimsical narrative style enriched by vivid descriptions and carefully crafted dialogue, Montgomery explores themes of exploration and the human spirit's yearning for the unknown. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the text reflects a burgeoning interest in space exploration during a time when astronomical knowledge was rapidly advancing, making the book a significant cultural artifact of its era. Frances Trego Montgomery, a prominent author of children's literature and an advocate for women's education, drew upon her own experiences and deep curiosity about the universe to craft this engaging narrative. Her extensive travels and diverse interests likely informed her portrayal of fantastical worlds and complex characters. Montgomery's unique perspective as a female writer in a male-dominated field offers a lens through which to understand not only the technical aspects of astronomy but also the spiritual dimensions of discovery. Readers of all ages are encouraged to embark on this delightful journey filled with imagination, humor, and insight. "On a Lark to the Planets" richly rewards those seeking both entertainment and a thought-provoking exploration of humanity's place in the cosmos, making it a timeless addition to speculative fiction.

    This is the second to last book in the OZ series that Baum actually wrote himself before he passed away. "A Faithful Record of the Remarkable Adventures of Dorothy and Trot and the Wizard of Oz, together with the Cowardly Lion, the Hungry Tiger and Cap'n Bill, in their successful search for a Magical and Beautiful Birthday Present for Princess Ozma of Oz." - Summary by Baum. Almost all the marvelous creatures of OZ are involved in this far reaching adventure story with tons of danger, evil magic, dastardly plots and heroic last minute acts of bravery to finally save the day. The Lonesome Duck makes her first and last appearance in this book which, by itself, makes it a 'must listen to' in my opinion.

    Why talk about water? This vital compound is not equal to anything that gives life to humans, animals and plants; in short, to the entire ecosystem on Earth. How vital can it be to have water to drink to quench your thirst, to accompany our food and to make our environment livable? Many of us ignore the importance of this, either by squandering this common good, or by using it to do business. I will talk about how water is used in various continents and also how it is exploited by some for business, when a common good should belong to all and at low cost. Then we will also address the most important topic, pollution, which today destroys entire seas, lakes and rivers. Sources polluted by the neglect of man towards the environment and towards himself, yes, because those who ruin their territory will also ruin their own future and this is incomprehensible by all those who are defending this planet of ours. We will talk about the various types of water and their characteristics and their qualities. In short, a complete roundup that will bring more knowledge for this immense good that is water.

    "Hey Diddle Diddle, the Cat and the Fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon! The little dog laughed to see such sport and the dish ran off with the spoon." Perhaps you think this verse is all nonsense, and that the things it mentions could never have happened; but they did happen, as you will understand when Frank Baum has explained them all to you clearly. 
    Little Bobby was the only son of a small farmer who lived out of town upon a country road. Bobby's mother looked after the house and Bobby's father took care of the farm, and Bobby himself, who was not very big, helped them both as much as he was able. 
    It was lonely upon the farm, especially when his father and mother were both busy at work, but the boy had one way to amuse himself that served to pass many an hour when he would not otherwise have known what to do. He was very fond of music, and his father one day brought him from the town a small fiddle, or violin, which he soon learned to play upon. I don't suppose he was a very fine musician, but the tunes he played pleased himself, as well as his father and mother, and Bobby's fiddle soon became his constant companion. To find out how the cow and the cat and the moon became involved, you will need to listen to this delightful talk and be much the wiser.
