Description
The Lost King of Oz
In which Mombi, perhaps the wickedest witch in Oz history, sets out to find the legendary Lost King of Oz whom she enchanted many before. Pajuka the goose, and Snip, a lively Gillikin boy, assist her—while Dorothy wishes her way to California and returns to Oz with a motion picture stunt dummy costumed as a king.
Snip is thrown down a well by Mombi, but rescues a tailor with magic ears from the underground kingdom of Blankenberg. Kabumpo the Elegant Elephant carries the entire party to the Emerald City, but a magic feather has lured Ozma, the Wizard, and the other Oz celebrities to the deserted kingdom of Morrow. Will the Lost King be found—and will he reclaim the throne of Oz from Ozma?
We have recently acquired a supply of the first nine Ruth Plumly Thompson Oz books as issued by Del Rey in the mid-1980s. These “like new” copies are forty years old and look like they were printed yesterday! Each are first printings of the Del Rey paperbacks featuring the stunning new cover paintings by Michael Herring. Del Rey’s later printings were produced via “Print on Demand” with badly warped and stretched cover art. Don’t miss this chance to collect these forty-year-old original paperback editions – while supplies last!
