Um þessa rafbók
Kabumpo in Oz (1922) is the sixteenth Oz book, and the second written by Ruth Plumly Thompson. It was the first Oz book fully credited to her. During Prince Pompadore of Pumperdink's eighteenth birthday celebration, his birthday cake explodes, revealing a magic scroll, a magic mirror, and a doorknob. The scroll warns the prince that if he doesn't wed a "proper princess" within seven days, his entire kingdom will disappear. The prince, along with the kingdom's wise elephant Kabumpo, set off on an adventure to the Emerald City so Pompa can marry Princess Ozma, the only "proper princess" the Elegant Elephant can think of as worthy of his prince.

Her contributions significantly expanded the Oz universe, introducing new characters and lands that delighted readers and kept the series alive for a new generation. Beyond Oz, Thompson penned fairy tales, children's stories, and worked as an editor for various magazines, showcasing her versatility and dedication to children's literature.Her tenure as the Royal Historian of Oz was not without controversy. Some purists criticized her for deviating from Baum's original vision, yet her books remain cherished by many for their creativity and charm. Thompson's influence can be seen in the works of contemporary fantasy writers who draw inspiration from her ability to create rich, fantastical worlds.A pioneer for women in literature, Thompson's career broke barriers in a male-dominated field, and her legacy endures as a testament to the power of imagination and the enduring appeal of the fantastical.
