Summary "The Hungry Tiger of Oz" by Ruth Plumly Thompson is a children's fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. This story is part of the beloved Oz series, continuing the adventures created by L. Frank Baum. The narrative follows Betsy Bobbin and the titular Hungry Tiger, alongside other whimsical characters like the Pasha of Rash and the Chief Scribe Ippty, as they embark on a journey filled with humor, surprises, and enchanting escapades in the magical land of Oz. The beginning of the story introduces the various characters and sets the stage for an adventurous plot. Betsy Bobbin reflects on her recently delightful birthday party. Meanwhile, the Pasha of Rash is depicted as a comically irate ruler who holds the Hungry Tiger of Oz in high regard, envisioning him as a solution to his kingdom's prisoner problems. Through a series of misunderstandings, the Hungry Tiger is summoned to Rash, where he will supposedly satisfy his appetite with the kingdom's criminals. The opening portion establishes a lively atmosphere, hinting at the quirky adventures that are to come as the characters grapple with the realities of their whimsical world.
