Illustrated by John R. Neil (color plates and b&w drawings) . Binding is fragile, with first two pages and one color plate detached, and others precarious. Pages a little tanned. Ex-owner name. Some of the b&w illustrations have been colored-in -- some nicely, others not. Blue cloth cover with pastedown front illustration -- generally a little scuffed, but illustration is clear and boards aren't showing. Spine cover is creased and sun-darkened, so that title is barely legible.

Print on Demand. This delightful book takes readers on a whimsical adventure to the magical Land of Oz, a world where talking animals, sentient objects, and extraordinary creatures coexist. The story unfolds through the eyes of Prince Pompadore, a young prince in the quirky Kingdom of Pumperdink, who is unexpectedly thrust into a predicament that threatens his kingdomââ â¢s very existence. The author blends elements of classic fairy tales, such as the quest for a princess and the inherent magic of a fantastical realm, with satirical humor, which is evident in the comical characters like Kabumpo, the Elegant Elephant, and the Curious Cottabus. The book explores themes of duty, destiny, and the complexities of navigating a world filled with unexpected challenges and surprising discoveries. Ultimately, the narrative underscores the power of embracing adventure and the importance of finding the right path, even amidst the chaos of a world both enchanting and unpredictable. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
