Despite the glossy paper used in this replica of the book's first edition, this twelfth book in the Oz series has a suitably old-fashioned charm resulting from the inclusion of the original black-and-white sketches and full-color plates, as well as a traditional typeface. An afterword by the publisher provides background information.

Books of Wonder series.
Illustrated by

Dorothy, the Wizard, and the Emerald City's other celebrated denizens set off to find their beloved Princess Ozma, who has disappeared. A series of adventures leads the group to the kidnapper, a Winkie shoemaker who has designs on ruling Oz himself. While the mystery is tidily wrapped up with a moral, fans of the Oz series won't mind. Color plates and profuse black-and-white drawings illustrate the fantasy, originally published in 1917.
