What if the only hope to save your kingdom rested in the hands of an extremely lazy man and his grumpy goat? This is the situation Prince Inga of Pingaree finds himself in when his island is invaded and everyone (including the royal family) is taken away as slaves. The only ones overlooked are Inga and Rinkitink, the jolly king who is visiting in order to escape responsibility at home. The pair set out to rescue their family and friends, accompanied by Rinkitink's talking goat, Bilbil. They face tremendous obstacles, but with the Land of Oz just around the corner, you never know when Dorothy might show up to lend a hand! One of the books in L. Frank Baum's Oz series, Rinkitink in Oz stands on its own as an exciting and enchanting adventure story.
Autorenporträt
Lyman Frank Baum, known popularly as L. Frank Baum, was an American children's author best known for his Land of Oz series. Born in 1856 in New York, Baum worked variously as a playwright and actor, businessman, and newspaper journalist before finding his greatest success in his forties when he began writing children's stories. Baum's first book for children was 1897's Mother Goose in Prose, a collection of stories based on Mother Goose nursery rhymes. His most famous and enduring work, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, was published in 1900. In his lifetime, Baum authored more than 50 novels and over 80 short stories, many under pseudonyms such as Floyd Akers, Laura Bancroft, Edith Van Dyne, and Schuyler Staunton. Baum died at the age of 62 on May 6, 1919, following a stroke, in Hollywood, California. Glinda of Oz, the fourteenth and final book he wrote for the Oz series, was published a year later, in July of 1920.
