Summary
Details

Return to L. Frank Baum's wonderful world of Oz with this illustrated children's book series.

When the winsome Hungry Tiger is whisked away to the Kingdom of Rash in an attempt to satisfy his appetite, Little Betsy Bobbin and the perky Vegetable Man join him and young Prince Reddy in a search for the three magic Rash Rubies.

They travel through the Gnome Kingdom, whereupon the Tiger is captured by the Giant Big Wigs. Meanwhile, Princess Ozma herself is kidnapped from Emerald City by Atmos Fere the Airman. Will the Rash Rubies be magic enough to rescue our friends, defeat the wicked Pasha, and return Reddy to his throne as the Rightful Ruler of Rash?

Praise for the Oz series

""Where the young stay young and the old grow young forever-these books are for readers of all ages.""-Ray Bradbury

""The land of Oz has managed to fascinate each new generation. . . . The Oz books continue to exert their spell . . . and those who read

them

are often made what they were not-imaginative, tolerant, alert to wonders.""-Gore Vidal

""I was raised with the Oz books, and their enchantment, humor and excitement remain with me. They are still a joy and a treasure. I welcome this Oz revival.""-Stephen R. Donaldson
