About This Book

A prince on a pearl-rich island watches his home overrun by northern invaders, prompting a rescue that sends a merry king and loyal companions across seas and enchanted lands. The narrative traces their attempts to recover magical pearls, outwit hostile rulers and the Nome King, and free the captive prince through cleverness, loyalty, and help from familiar Oz figures. Episodes combine island adventure, sea voyages, enchanted objects, and comic mishap, and conclude with reunions in the Emerald City and a banquet that restores order and rewards courage.
