| Publisher Description: Little Ojo and his Unc Nunkie are beset by a terrible problem: the bread on the bread tree isn't ripe, and the butter and jam is all gone . . . And out of so small a difficulty, in the magical Land of Oz, arises one of the most miraculous of tales of Oz, in which the reader meets such wondrous characters as the talkative Glass Cat, the Wise Donkey, the savage Woozy -- and of course the lovable Patchwork Girl herself. |
Contributor Bio(s): Baum, L. Frank: - "Lyman Frank Baum (1856 - 1919), better known by his pen name L. Frank Baum, was an American author chiefly known for his children's books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels and a host of other works (55 novels in total, plus four "lost works," 83 short stories and over 200 poems. His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work)." |
