Welcome to Litsy!

I liked that this had more of a storyline and less randomness than previous Oz books. Betsy Bobbin and the Shaggy Man are delightful. However, I was constantly frustrated that the horrible Love Magnet works differently than it did in the past (presumably so it can be defended against), and the nomes‘ personality changes didn‘t stick, other than the king inexplicably getting a new name.

When Betsy & Hank the mule fall overboard in a storm, they have no idea they‘ll join up w/ the Shaggy Man rescuing his brother, a lost daughter of the Rainbow, & a small army intent on conquering Oz.

I had forgotten a lot of this 1! The army of Oogaboo is just ridiculous, Polychrome & Betsy are a joy, we get to meet a dragon, & the Nome king makes a dastardly reappearance. So does the Love Magnet, & I really wish they would lose that. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

He's my favorite. 🐦‍⬛

1. I have some original Wizard of Oz books from the early 1900s. Earliest is 1903.
2. The Wizard of Oz stories are still filled with fantasy and perfect for children.

Browsing my local Barnes and Noble, I stumbled upon a game book for an Oz tabletop RPG. It is amazing. I had to find out more about Oz. Having only known the Wizard of Oz and its sequel Return to Oz, I did not know too much about Oz. But now I have the complete collection here on my kindle and will journey into the land of Oz posthaste. Wish me luck.

“Where in the world did you come from?”
“From the land of Oz,” said Dorothy gravely. “And here is Toto, too. And oh, Aunt Em! I‘m so glad to be at home again!”

This is very short and takes place after The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. The world isn‘t as expansive and it‘s really too short to feel much about it, so I think reading it without the previous novella wouldn‘t be a great experience. If you have read the previous novella, you‘ll likely enjoy this episode that follows the events of that story.
