About This Book

A little girl named Trot and her companion Cap'n Bill are carried into the Land of Oz and encounter sea dangers, curious creatures, and enchanted islands before reaching its more familiar realms. Their journey involves rescues of the lost Button-Bright, interventions by the long-time Scarecrow ally, and conflicts with a magically ruled kingdom where a capricious monarch and strange advisors threaten neighbors. Episodes mix comic inventions, perilous escapades, and clever problem-solving, culminating in aid from powerful rulers who restore order and leave the newcomers happily installed among Dorothy, Ozma, and other Oz residents.
