The eleventh book in the beloved Oz series. Dorothy discovers that Princess Ozma is missing—and so are the magical treasures of Oz, including Glinda’s Great Book of Records. Most Oz residents—familiar from the previous books—join 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.

The Lost Princess of Oz is one of L. Frank Baum's most imaginative books. It begins with a serious problem, Ozma's disappearance, and with many of the favorite characters. Yet in a parallel story, an early chapter takes us to the Winkie Country and introduces us to some delightful new characters, The Frogman and Cayke the Cookie Cook. We know that Cayke's stolen magic dishpan is somehow related to Ozma's disappearance. I love the role that Scraps, the Patchwork Girl, plays in this book. We meet some whimsical new villages and the beings who inhabit them. We pay attention to small details that are nonetheless important to those most affected by them, such as Toto's missing growl. Illusions are turned upside down and inside out, making us think. It's a delightful journey, all in all, one that I highly recommend. ( Amazon customer review)
