Summary "The Giant Horse of Oz" by Ruth Plumly Thompson is a children's fantasy novel written in the late 1920s. This book continues the enchanting tales of Oz originally begun by L. Frank Baum, expanding the whimsical world with a new adventure. The story introduces King Cheeriobed of the Ozure Isles, who faces the threat of the monstrous Quiberon demanding a mortal maiden to save his kingdom. The opening of the story sets the stage in the beautiful but troubled realm of the Ozure Isles, where King Cheeriobed is enduring the tyranny of Quiberon, a fierce monster preventing the Islanders from leaving or even enjoying their lives. Upon being confronted with Quiberon's outrageous demand, the king summons his advisors, including the frantic Akbad the Soothsayer, who is determined to find a solution to their plight. The narrative quickly introduces young Jewlia, the court jeweler's daughter, who finds herself entangled in the crisis after Quiberon captures her through a window. As the struggle unfolds, we meet Prince Philador, who longs to find a means to seek help from the Good Witch of the North and save his people, setting the stage for a magical journey ahead.
