Faithful followers of the Oz books will more than likely be disappointed in “Rinkitink in Oz,” not because it’s a terrible read, but because Oz and its characters are nearly entirely absent. The tale really concerns Prince Inga of Pingaree and King Rinkitink of Gilgad on a quest to find and rescue Inga’s parents, the King and Queen.
It is obvious reading this book that Baum was growing frustrated with how his Oz books had so momentously overshadowed his additional works, and in fact, this would have been a better title lacking the Oz tie at the end. As a replacement for of allowing his heroes to perfect their adventure on their own, Baum turned to the already-tired deus ex machina of the Oz books; Glinda’s magic book and Ozma’s magic picture. Like in several books before, this allowed the more familiar Oz characters to take note when the heroes of the book were in danger, convieniently wait until 200 or so pages had passed, and then swoop in to save the day.
I bought this book out of a desire to read the entire Oz series, but frankly, I preferred the book before Oz became an issue. I sympathize with Baum’s frustration. It’s a bring shame on that he felt the need to prompt it with a weak ending that hurt a excellent book.

Rinkitink in OZ by L. Frank Baum being the 10 book in the oz series is indeed a bit odd and peculiar in the sense that it has very small in it about oz and we only get see a brief glimpse of olde favorites like Dorothy and Ozma. The tale centers on the adventures of Prince Inga of Pingaree and King Rinkitink of Gilgad and his talking goat Bilbil. Even though we do not have much of oz in this tale, the book is very well written with plenty of exciting adventures and wonderfull illustrations as permanently. I can not wait to read the next book in this wonderfull series.

`Rinktink’ is a much better book than its predecessor. In this book we first visit Pingaree, an idyllic island which subsists on pearl farming and trade with nearby Gilgad, a mountainous territory bordering on the now-familiar territory of the Nome king. The title character visits the small island and gets caught up in an invasion by a hostile force. Together with his talking goat, Bilbil, he assists the island’s Prince on a quest to save the island’s citizens and the king and queen from certain harm. This quest takes them first to the invaders’ islands and then to the kingdom of the Nome King, where eventual aid from Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz help to reunite the royal family tree. All the adventurers pay a brief visit to Ozma before returning to their rightful fplaces.
Most of the action in the series is forced outside of Oz now that all of the central characters are impervious to harm when they are in Oz. As the leader is no longer forced to developed a contrived adventure in well-worn territory, the tale is much cleaner and the literary devices are the most respectable ones used in the series since `Emerald City’s pun chapters (e.g. the queens are named for their islands, etc.). This book presents a excellent tale for parents to read to young children over multiple nights.

This was a fun read. All of the characters & villians are new. All of the excitement pertained in The wizard of oz, was also here in this book. It still reads like a childrens book, but as childrens books regularly do, it lets your imagination run wild, and I like to lose myself for several hours every now & then.

My 10 year ancient son read the book and loved it. He said it had appealing characters who had exciting adventures. He would recommend it to all his friends.
