Description: Completed shortly before Baum's death in 1919, this imaginative story concerns quarrels between two warring tribes in the Land of Oz. Princess Ozma, accompanied by the vivacious and practical-minded Dorothy, undertakes a hazardous errand of peace. They journey to the mountainous home of the Flatheads (who carry their brains around in colorful tin cans), travel to the magic isle of the Skeezers (a perpetually dejected people), and are rescued from a perilous situation by the amazing magic of Glinda the Good, the lovely sorceress of Oz. A diamond swan, enchanted fishes, the clever Ervic, and Red Reera, the Yookoohoo, are just a few of the appealing characters young readers will meet in a charmingly told tale that will delight today's readers and listeners as much as it did young audiences 80 years ago. An exact reprint of the first edition, this Dover book will retain the original typography and all the original color and black-and-white illustrations by John R. Neill.
