"The Lost King of Oz" by Ruth Plumly Thompson is a children's fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. Continuing the legacy of L. Frank Baum's Oz tales, this installment introduces readers to new adventures in the magical land of Oz, focusing on the quest to restore the Lost King of Oz, Princess Ozma's father. The story primarily revolves around characters such as Snip, a brave little button boy, and Pajuka, the talking goose, as they navigate through dangers and mischief accompanied by the wicked witch Mombi. The opening of the novel sets a whimsical tone, detailing the peaceful kingdom of Kimbaloo, ruled by the jolly King Kinda and his warm-hearted Queen Rosa Merry. However, the tranquility is soon disrupted by revelations about the Lost King, hinting at an adventure seeded in mystery and magic. Snip and Pajuka embark on a journey to find the king and seek justice against Mombi for her malevolent actions. With playful humor and engaging events, the narrative captures the charm of Oz while introducing new characters and dynamics, promising an exciting tale ahead as they encounter various whimsical challenges.
