About this eBook

Author Baum, L. Frank (Lyman Frank), 1856-1919
Title Tik-Tok of Oz
Credits Produced by Anthony Matonac and Paul Selkirk.
Summary "Tik-Tok of Oz" by L. Frank Baum is a children's fantasy novel written during the early 20th century, specifically around 1914. The story follows the ambitious Queen Ann Soforth of the tiny kingdom of Oogaboo as she gathers an army in her quest to conquer the magical Land of Oz, sparking new adventures filled with humor and whimsy. Alongside her are various quirky characters, including the mechanical man Tik-Tok, the Shaggy Man, Betsy Bobbin, and others who contribute to the unfolding narrative. The opening of the story introduces us to Queen Ann, who feels discontented with the small size of her kingdom and devises a plan to conquer the much larger and more prosperous Land of Oz. She begins assembling her army, which mainly consists of blustering officers prone to cowardice rather than actual combatants. Despite the whimsical absurdity of her conquest, Ann is fueled by her desire for grandeur beyond her limited realm. The narrative also shifts to introduce Betsy Bobbin and her companion Hank, who are shipwrecked and drawn into their own series of adventures, eventually intertwining with Ann's ambitions. The setting is colorful and filled with fantastical elements, setting the stage for a delightful journey through the enchanting world of Oz. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
