About This Book

Princess Ozma and her companion Dorothy respond to a record of conflict between two obscure Oz peoples, the Flatheads and the magic-wielding Skeezers, prompting a hazardous expedition across enchanted landscapes. They encounter strange inhabitants and places—a Flathead mountain, a magic isle, underwater realms, and sorcerous defenses—while Glinda employs powerful magic to learn, intervene, and ultimately rescue and reconcile the communities. Episodes blend whimsical inventions, clever puzzles, enchanted creatures, and displays of sorcery, forming an episodic sequence of adventures and problem-solving that culminates in Glinda's triumph and the restoration of order.
