Review:
Unbeknown to me, Frank Baum had written an assortment of books that
centred on the fabled land of Oz. A range of stories that were motivated
by his young readers creative imagination. As he explains it;
"Some of my youthful
readers are developing wonderful imaginations. This pleases me. Imagination
has brought mankind through the dark ages to its' present state of
civilisation".
In this instalment we find
Dorothy living in the land of Oz with a group of close friends. All
of which had been introduced through earlier books. With the Fairy
Princess gone missing and strange events taking place, it is up to
this curious group of friends to find the Princess and return Oz to
what passes for everyday fun for those who live there.
Fun and entertaining reading for all ages.
