Wizard of Oz - The Complete Collection #4
Wizard of Oz - Rinkitink in Oz, The Tin Woodman of Oz and The Lost Princess of Oz
L. Frank Baum takes us to the distant island of Pingaree, where Inga, the Prince, along with King Rinkitink of Gilgad, undertakes the dangerous voyage to the Islands of Regos and Coregos to rescue his captive parents and free the enslaved people of his kingdom. We get to visit, for the first time, the lands of Thi, and Herku, and meet the Bears of the Bear Centre, as Dorothy and company, which includes the Wizard of Oz, the Patchwork Girl, the Sawhorse and the Cowardly Lion among others, embark on their journey to find Ozma, the Princess of Oz. Baum introduces us to the Loons of Loonville and leads us to the palace of the giantess, Mrs. Yoop, as the Tin Woodmand decides to go to the Munchkin Country and find Nimmie Amee, his long-lost love.
After having spent much time exploring the Emerald City of Oz, it's time to discover the neighbouring lands of Oz, and meet new characters like the Frogman, the wicked Ugu, and the Pink Bear.
Are the anxieties of our beloved characters - as they brave their way through unforeseen dangers and difficulties - justified?

Lyman Frank Baum was an American author best known for his children's fantasy books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, part of a series. In addition to the 14 Oz books, Baum penned 41 other novels (not including four lost, unpublished novels), 83 short stories, over 200 poems, and at least 42 scripts. He made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and screen; the 1939 adaptation of the first Oz book became a landmark of 20th-century cinema.
Born and raised in Chittenango, New York, Baum moved west after an unsuccessful stint as a theater producer and playwright. He and his wife opened a store in South Dakota and he edited and published a newspaper. They then moved to Chicago, where he worked as a newspaper reporter and published children's literature, coming out with the first Oz book in 1900. While continuing his writing, among his final projects he sought to establish a film studio focused on children's films in Los Angeles, California.
His works anticipated such later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high-risk and action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).
