Part of "Oz" series
"The Royal Book of Oz" by Ruth Plumly Thompson is a delightful addition to the Oz series, following the well-established legacy of L. Frank Baum. Published in 1921, this book is the twelfth in the series and Thompson's first contribution as the appointed successor to Baum after his death. The story begins with the discovery of a mysterious letter, revealing that Princess Ozma and her entourage have been turned to stone. The letter is signed by the enigmatic "Gwig," a character new to the Oz universe. The responsibility of reversing this curse falls upon the Scarecrow, who embarks on a journey to the unknown, darker regions of the Land of Oz. Along the way, he encounters a host of peculiar characters, including the Flutterbudgets, a group of whiny, fainting-prone creatures; the High Coco-Lorum, a giant cocoanut; and the Woozy, a three-legged, two-headed creature who can't decide which way to go. Thompson's writing style is reminiscent of Baum's, filled with wit, humor, and a vivid imagination. However, she brings her own unique touch to the series, with a slightly more whimsical and light-hearted tone. The book is a testament to Thompson's ability to continue the magical world of Oz, preserving its charm while adding her own creative flair. "The Royal Book of Oz" is a charming read for both children and adults, offering a captivating adventure filled with magic, humor, and unforgettable characters. It's a must-read for fans of the Oz series and a testament to the enduring appeal of this classic children's literature...
