Return to the magical Land of Oz in Adventures in Oz Vol. VI, a delightful omnibus collecting three lively Oz adventures filled with royal mysteries, enchanted journeys, comic dangers, and impossible machines.
For generations, L. Frank Baum's Oz books have captured readers with their bright imagination, unforgettable characters, and sense that wonder may be waiting just beyond the next road. After Baum's death, Ruth Plumly Thompson was chosen by his estate to continue the official Oz series, bringing her own energetic humor, quick pacing, and playful invention to the beloved fairyland. This volume gathers three of Thompson's Oz novels: The Royal Book of Oz, Kabumpo in Oz, and Ozoplaning with the Wizard of Oz.
In The Royal Book of Oz, the Scarecrow sets out to discover whether he has a hidden royal past, leading to new lands, strange peoples, and fresh revelations about one of Oz's most beloved citizens. In Kabumpo in Oz, readers meet Kabumpo, the elegant elephant, and follow a spirited adventure involving Prince Pompadore, Ruggedo the Nome King, and the kind of magical complications only Oz can provide. In Ozoplaning with the Wizard of Oz, the Wizard builds two extraordinary flying machines, launching another marvelous journey through the skies and beyond. Together these stories offer classic Oz magic: humor, danger, friendship, royalty, transformation, and the joy of a world where anything can happen.
