The Patchwork Girl of Oz Version

Description

Considered to be one of the best of the Oz books, Frank Baum’s Patchwork Girl of Oz is still viewed by many as an incredibly entertaining, fun and simply enchanting children’s book, providing us with a closer, more detailed image of the land of Oz and its many magical inhabitants and events.

Appreciated even by many who have criticized some of the other Oz books, the Patchwork Girl of Oz focuses on the adventures of Ojo the Unlucky, a munchkin boy on a quest to free two of his peers from the unfortunate consequences of a strange magical invention that had turned them to solid marble.

Aided in his efforts by Scraps the Patchwork Girl, Dorothy, the Shaggy Man, the Scarecrow and several other good friends, Ojo faces numerous challenges on his way towards finding the rare but necessary ingredients for a working antidote.

Although at the end of 1910, Baum had planned to pursue other works, instead of continuing to write about the land of Oz, at the request of many of his younger readers, he set out to write The Patchwork Girl of Oz three years later.

With his engaging and incredibly imaginative writing style still captivating the attention of young children today, Baum’s somewhat original and more intriguing approach to the story was quite a novelty at the time. His originality and skill was especially reflected by Scraps the Patchwork girl, a character worthy of recognition among some of Baum’s more illustrious creations, such as the Gnome King or Jack Pumpkinhead.

Any child who has enjoyed the excitement, mystery and educational stories and adventures from the other Oz books written by Baum will simply love this enchanting tale that transports its readers far deeper into the heart of the make believe fairyland.
