Description

Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz, written by Ruth Plumly Thompson, continues the magical legacy of Oz first created by L. Frank Baum.

The story begins with Peter, who, while thinking about the enchanting land of Oz, is transported back using a magic coin from his previous visit. On his way to the Emerald City, he meets Jack Pumpkinhead, a tall, gentle, and humorous figure with a pumpkin for a head.

As they journey together, they gather a cast of unusual companions, including Snif the Iffin, a griffin-like creature without a growl, and Baron Belfaygor, a man cursed with an endlessly growing beard. Their adventure takes a serious turn when Belfaygor reveals that his fiancée has been kidnapped. Determined to help, the group embarks on a quest to rescue her, facing magical dangers and strange encounters along the way.

First published in 1929, the novel remains a timeless tale of friendship, bravery, and discovering wisdom in the most unexpected places.

This illustrated edition is further enriched by the artwork of Jeremy J. Salvador, whose visuals add an extra layer of wonder and charm to the imaginative world crafted by Thompson.
