Dorothy and the flying pig Pigasus must solve not one but two mysteries when a jealous king wields a magic wishing horse and enchanted black-diamond necklaces against the Emerald City.

Ruth Plumly Thompson's 1935 novel continues the beloved Oz series. Warm, whimsical, gloriously inventive. Read it for a rousing double-mystery Oz adventure starring Dorothy and the poetical flying pig Pigasus, full of new kingdoms and characters, in one of Thompson's most enjoyable entries as Royal Historian of Oz.
