Purple Prince of Oz (The Wonderful Oz Books, No 26)

Return to L. Frank Baum's wonderful world of Oz with this illustrated children's book series. Prince Randy of Regalia must prove his right to be a royal. On his adventure-filled quest to fulfill the tasks set him, Randy meets the friendly giant Nandywog, a terrifying monster--then escapes from the city of the villainous Doublemen. He even makes a genuine trip over the rainbow to Oz in the company of the legendary Red Jinn and the incredibly Elegant Elephant Kabumpo. But can Randy pass the seven magical tests as well as save the conquered Kingdom of Pumperdink--and can Jinnicky's Red Magic help him? Praise for the Oz series "Where the young stay young and the old grow young forever--these books are for readers of all ages."--Ray Bradbury "The land of Oz has managed to fascinate each new generation. . . . The Oz books continue to exert their spell . . . and those who read [them] are often made what they were not--imaginative, tolerant, alert to wonders."--Gore Vidal "I was raised with the Oz books, and their enchantment, humor and excitement remain with me. They are still a joy and a treasure. I welcome this Oz revival."--Stephen R. Donaldson
