Synopsis "Tik-Tok of Oz"

Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper. Tik-Tok of Oz is the eighth Land of Oz book written by L. Frank Baum. Join Tik-Tok, the Shaggy Man, and a host of other friends--both old and new--on an exciting, imaginative journey through the world of Oz. The fun begins in an isolated corner of Oz, in the small country of Oogaboo. There Queen Ann Soforth musters an unlikely army and sets off to conquer the rest of Oz. Meanwhile, a girl from Oklahoma named Betsy Bobbin and her companion, Hank the mule, are shipwrecked and washed ashore in the Rose Kingdom, a magical land of talking roses. There they meet the Shaggy Man, who is on a quest to rescue his brother from the clutches of the wicked Nome King. Betsy, Hank, and the Rose Princess join the Shaggy Man on his journey, and before long they meet up with Polychrome, the Rainbow's Daughter; Tik-Tok; and Queen Ann with her army. The rest of Baum's tale is filled with hairbreadth escapes, wild puns, and mystifying magic. Includes vintage illustration!

L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) was a prolific American author, mainly known for his contributions to children's literature. His most famous work, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), is considered a classic of children's literature and has been adapted multiple times into film, theater, and television. Baum wrote numerous books that are part of the Oz series, with titles such as The Land of Oz (1904) and Ozma of Oz (1907), all within the fantasy genre. In addition to his Oz works, Baum ventured into other genres such as theater, fairy tales, and novels.
