Summary "The Royal Book of Oz" by L. Frank Baum and enlarged and edited by Ruth Plumly Thompson is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. This delightful continuation of the Oz series centers around the beloved character the Scarecrow, who discovers that he is the long-lost Emperor of the Silver Islands while searching for his family tree. As he embarks on this adventure, familiar friends like Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion join him, promising further excitement and enchanting escapades in the magical land of Oz. The opening of the novel introduces Professor Wogglebug, who sparks the idea of creating a genealogical book that details the origins of the inhabitants of Oz, prompting the Scarecrow to ponder his own ancestry. Disconcerted by the suggestion that he has no family, the Scarecrow vows to find his roots and embarks on a journey back to the Munchkin farm where he was originally discovered. As he traverses Oz, he encounters various fantastical beings and landscapes while grappling with his identity. This whimsical beginning sets the stage for a fun-filled quest marked by humor, friendship, and the charm that is signature to Baum’s Oz tales. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
