Return to L. Frank Baum's wonderful world of Oz with this illustrated children's book series. Sir Hokus of Pokes sets off on a quest and discovers instead of one of the greatest feats of enchantment in Oz history: two entire kingdoms transformed and hidden away for five hundred years by the evil Sultan of Samandra. When a New York lad named Speedy rides a wayward ship to Oz, he arrives just in time to aid Sir Hokus and his noble steed the Comfortable Camel and to rescue Princess Marygolden from her enchanted life. Praise for the Oz series "Where the young stay young and the old grow young forever--these books are for readers of all ages."--Ray Bradbury "The land of Oz has managed to fascinate each new generation. . . . The Oz books continue to exert their spell . . . and those who read [them] are often made what they were not--imaginative, tolerant, alert to wonders."--Gore Vidal "I was raised with the Oz books, and their enchantment, humor and excitement remain with me. They are still a joy and a treasure. I welcome this Oz revival."--Stephen R. Donaldson
