Description

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

Peter, while thinking of Oz, returns thanks to a magical coin he received on his previous visit. On his journey to the Emerald City, he meets Jack Pumpkinhead, a tall, funny, and innocent figure with a pumpkin for a head.

As they travel together, they are joined by unusual companions, including Snif the Iffin, a griffin with no growl, and Baron Belfaygor, a man cursed with a continuously growing beard. Their adventure turns urgent when Belfaygor reveals that his fiancée has been kidnapped, prompting the group of misfit heroes to set off to save her and restore peace to the magical land of Oz.

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

This edition, presented by Parrot Publications, preserves Thompson’s original, unedited story while including a preface and epilogue by Jeremy J. Salvador. Compiled for smoother readability, it allows new generations to enjoy this classic Oz adventure nearly a decade after its first publication.
