Ruth Plumly Thompson's 1938 novel continues the beloved Oz series. Warm, whimsical, gloriously inventive. Read it for a rousing Oz adventure by Baum's successor, a royal quest, a villain named Gludwig, and the charming Princess Planetty of Anuther Planet, in one of Thompson's most delightful entries.
