![]() ![]() Instead of a simple journey, Tik-Tok of Oz has a very interesting plot that is not too predictable. There is Oogaboo where all things grow on trees, the Rose Garden where the flowers are alive, and the kingdom of the Great Titi-Hoochoo. There is not enough substance to Oz itself for it to be the setting of so many books, so by incorporating other lands, the series can extend a lot further. After hearing so much about Oz and seeing the same sights and characters, it was nice to experience other lands. One of the more plot driven Oz books, Tik-Tok of Oz is in fact not about Oz, but other fairy lands. The rest of Baum’s tale is filled with hairbreadth escapes, wild puns, and mystifying magic. Betsy, Hank, and the Rose Princess join the Shaggy Man on his journey, and before long they meet up with Polychrome, the Rainbow’s Daughter Tik-Tok and Queen Ann with her army. There they meet the Shaggy Man, who is on a quest to rescue his brother from the clutches of the wicked Nome King. Meanwhile, a girl from Oklahoma named Betsy Bobbin and her companion, Hank the mule, are shipwrecked and washed ashore in the Rose Kingdom, a magical land of talking roses. There Queen Ann Soforth musters an unlikely army and sets off to conquer the rest of Oz. The fun begins in an isolated corner of Oz, in the small country of Oogaboo. Join Tik-Tok, the Shaggy Man, and a host of other friends–both old and new–on an exciting, imaginative journey through the world of Oz. ![]()
