About this book
The Enchanted Island by Fannie Louise Apjohn whisks listeners to a sunlit South Pacific fable where four kingdoms ring a mysterious, reef‑guarded islet known as the Island of Despair. Rich with the language and charm of early 20th‑century children's fiction, this fairy tale unfolds through whimsical episodes—strange discoveries, talking birds, and perilous reefs—woven together by themes of courage, curiosity, and the enduring power of imagination.
Apjohn’s 1919 tale reads like a vintage picture book brought to life: gentle moral lessons, vivid island settings, and a playful sense of wonder that recalls the best of classic fairy tales. The story balances peril and delight without losing its comforting tone, making room for friendship, resourcefulness, and the small heroic acts that change lives.
Ideal for families, fans of vintage children’s fiction, or anyone who enjoys lyrical, old‑fashioned fairy tales, this audiobook is perfect for bedtime listening or a nostalgic return to simpler storytelling. Let Apjohn’s enchanted islands carry you away—no compass needed.
