In which Dorothy and Ozma set out from the Emerald City to the Gillikin Country in the North to settle a dispute between the Skeezers and the Flatheads. Arriving at the glass dome of the Skeezers, the evil Queen Coo-ee-oh submerges it so the two girls can't escape. So Glinda the Good and the Wizard of Oz set out with a handful of all our Oz friends to rescue them. What happened to the Three Adepts, who used to rule the Flatheads? Only Red Reera the Yookoohoo knows that. And will Glinda ever be able to rescue Dorothy and Ozma?
GLINDA OF OZ was first published in 1920 (posthumously) and was Baum's 14th and last Oz book. When he was writing THE MAGIC OF OZ and GLINDA OF OZ in 1919 he was very sick. He could not write a note at the beginning as he had done with all the other books, but the Publishers wrote one. The Oz books, apart from THE WIZARD OF OZ, are now forgotten, and when we try to talk about Oz to nearly anyone, they mention the MGM film and Judy Garland and think they know all they need to know about Oz. Not so!! The actual books were much better than the film! Films of the sequels of THE WIZARD OF OZ should have been made. Sadly, L. Frank Baum did not leave behind any notes, so we can have no clue on what he was thinking about writing next. With the permission of Mrs. Maud Baum, Ruth Plumly Thompson, a young writer from Philadelphia, could write the books so the Oz fans could keep enjoying them. But would Thompson's books be as good as Baum's? Baum's last words were: 'Now we move across the Shifting Sands...'(the Deadly Desert.) He was going home.
