It was illustrated by John R. Neill. The story opens with a dinner party, attended by seven of the characters from Baum's inaugural book, including the castle-housemaid Jellia Jam.

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.
