Tik-Tok of Ozis ebook eight within the basic youngsters’s assortment of tales from the Great Wizard of Ozseries.
This story options the metallic man Tik-Tok, Shaggy Man and Polychrome, who’ve all had elements in earlier tales. On this story Baum additionally introduces new characters and there are two interwoven adventures on this story. The primary is the story of a small kingdom with a ruler who needs to fulfill and conquer different individuals and the second story is in regards to the Shaggy Man’s seek for his lengthy misplaced brother.
We additionally examine Betsy Bobbin, a woman from Oklahoma who’s shipwrecked and washed ashore together with a mule known as Hank.
With Baum’s acquainted journeying type, the place characters meet each hostile and type individuals, the story strikes at a very good tempo.
