Books with author Lyman Frank Baum

The very marked success of my last year's fairy book, "The Patchwork Girl of Oz," convinces me that my readers like the Oz stories "best of all," as one little girl wrote me. So here, my dears, is a new Oz story in which is introduced Ann Soforth, the Queen of Oogaboo, whom Tik-Tok assisted in conquering our old acquaintance, the Nome King. It also tells of Betsy Bobbin and how, after many adventures, she finally reached the marvelous Land of Oz.

The eleventh book in the beloved Oz series. Dorothy discovers that Princess Ozma is missingand so are the magical treasures of Oz, including Glinda’s Great Book of Records. Most Oz residentsfamiliar from the previous booksjoin in the search, splitting into various groups. In Winkle Country, Cayke the Cookie Cook (whose magic dishpan has also gone missing) and the Frogman aid Dorothy’s group in their search. As it turns out, Ugu the Shoemaker is responsible for the disappearances. A number of magical complications ensue before Ozma is found and the world of Oz is returned to order and happiness.
