Um þessa rafbók

Prepare for a grand, ticking adventure that delves into both surface whimsy and subterranean peril in L. Frank Baum's "Tik-Tok of Oz!" This thrilling and imaginative tale plunges readers into a daring quest led by the determined Queen Ann Soforth of Oogaboo. Despite her small, impoverished kingdom, she bravely sets out with her comically inept army to conquer the cunning Nome King's vast and treacherous underground realm. Her audacious goal: to liberate her brother, Prince Bobo, unjustly imprisoned.

Along her perilous and often humorous journey, Queen Ann quickly teams up with a remarkable and unforgettable trio of unlikely heroes. Meet the ever-reliable, ticking automaton Tik-Tok, a mechanical man renowned for his precise movements and unwavering loyalty; the charming Shaggy Man, whose kind heart and optimism light the way; and the ethereal, rainbow-hued Polychrome, Daughter of the Rainbow, whose graceful dances add magic to their expedition.

Together, this diverse group embarks on a dangerous and often comical quest filled with cunning traps, mysterious encounters with bizarre subterranean creatures, and formidable foes guarding the Nome King's glittering treasures. They must navigate his labyrinthine tunnels and outwit their old adversary. "Tik-Tok of Oz" is a vibrant, inventive adventure showcasing unwavering courage, unbreakable friendship, and the delightful marvels of mechanical ingenuity in the whimsical world of Oz.
