Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Adventure takes a more mythic turn in Rinkitink in Oz, a thrilling fairy-tale quest filled with L. Frank Baum’s trademark whimsy and color. Prince Inga’s father protects their peaceful island kingdom of Pingaree with his three magic pearls. But when the island is invaded and conquered, Inga must flee with the cheerfully bumbling royal visitor King Rinkitink and use the magic pearls himself to save his parents and his home.
As the pair faces dangers and meets new allies—including some familiar characters for Oz fans—Inga must learn not only to use his new powers, but also his head when he loses those powers. Rinkitink in Oz steps beyond the Emerald City for a seafaring adventure that’s equal parts wit and wonder.
Customer Reviews
Surprisingly simplistic
Didn’t realise how simplistic this classic story is. Easy to read and quick to get through, I might see if my 7-yo enjoys reading it as an introduction to chaptered books.
A wonderful classic
A great lovely, simple but charming read before sleeping each night. Highly recommended.
The (Very) Wonderful Wizard of Oz
This book is such a classic, and everyone should read it at some point. It’s surprisingly simple and easy to read for a book that was written in 1900 (126 years ago!) and is really interesting. I recommend it for anyone who likes easy to read books with a little bit of magic! I’ve read my physical copy at least 15 times, and it never gets old! 🫶🏼
