Summary

Young Trot and the old captain, peg-legged Cap'n Bill, might seem like odd friends, but they are constant companions and Cap'n Bill taught her to love and appreciate the ocean. Trot was especially fascinated by the idea of mermaids and talked about them often with Cap'n Bill, who warned that no one who had met a mermaid had ever lived to tell the tale. One day while out sailing around, the pair is greeted by a beautiful mermaid who extends an invitation for them to come and visit their underwater kingdom and even become mermaids themselves for the adventure.

Trot and Cap'n Bill meet a wonderful variety of characters along their underwater adventure - eels and codfish and crabs, among others. After a marvelous and exciting time with the mermaids, the only mystery left is whether or not they will be the first to live to tell the tale of meeting the mermaids!

L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American author of children's books, most famous for his The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Baum wrote 13 sequels to his first Oz book and still has a huge fan base to this day. Trot and Cap'n Bill also appear in other books by Baum, outside of their underwater adventures!

Honestly I found it rather boring. I didn’t feel the amazement I was expecting. Perhaps the descriptions were too detailed or lengthy? Maybe this book was magical when it came out and aged badly? The reading is good for sleep/bedtime story as it’s gentle so up to 6 years old perhaps? I don’t usually skip ahead in a story but I did skip from chapter 7 to 14, in order to see if the action would pick up but even the character’s mysterious capture did not enthral me and I gave up listening then. I was checking it out for my 9 year old who loves mermaids but I think we’ll pass.

Slow pace, best for younger children
