One of the best Oz books,
By Nathan M DeHoff (Absurd City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wishing Horse of Oz (Wonderful Oz Bookz, No 29) (Paperback)
I hold the Oz books in very high regard among books, and this is one of the best of the series. King Skamperoo is a very well-developed villain, who bears some similarity to other bad-tempered, ambitious monarchs throughout the series, yet is developed better than most of them. Instead of just coming out of nowhere to torment the people of Oz, as some villains do, we learn all about his home in Skampavia, and his reasons for wanting to rule Oz. Skamperoo manages to enchant everyone in Oz, except for Dorothy and Pigasus (who was introduced in PIRATES IN OZ), and it is up to them to save the country. As is usual for Oz books, this one introduces interesting new characters and locations, while still providing a sense of familiarity for people who know the other books.

Three emerald necklaces cause everyone in Oz to forget Ozma!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wishing Horse of Oz (Wonderful Oz Bookz, No 29) (Paperback)
Three emerald necklaces cause everyone in Oz to forget all about Princess Ozma, the Wizard, and Glinda the Good and acknowledge instead a king named Skamperoo as supreme ruler! The mystic enchantment is responsible as well for the appearance of the glorious Wishing Horse, the most magnificent white steed imaginable. Only Dorothy and Pigasus, the flying poetrical pig, can save the realm. . .

sublimely delicious! these books should be reprinted.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wishing Horse of Oz (Wonderful Oz Bookz, No 29) (Paperback)
Ruth Plumly Thompson took the wonderful idea of Oz from Baum & continued its development with delightful whimsy. the place names are always imaginative (e.g. Mudge, Torpedo Town). in this story, Chalk, the talking horse, is always ready with a witty retort. you'll never regret visiting the Land of Oz.
