The Yellow Knight of Oz (1930) is the twenty-fourth book in the Oz series and the tenth written by Ruth Plumly Thompson, continuing the legacy of L. Frank Baum. Illustrated by John R. Neill, the novel follows Sir Hokus of Pokes, a quirky and chivalrous knight, who grows restless in the Emerald City and sets out with the Comfortable Camel in search of adventure and knightly deeds.
The book is known for its whimsical side characters, such as Ploppa the giant mud turtle and Peter Pun the jester, as well as its inventive magical challenges and humorous tone. It stands out as the only Ruth Plumly Thompson Oz book adapted for the stage, premiering in 1963.
As part of the “Famous Forty” Oz books, it is a must-have for collectors and fans of the series, continuing the legacy of Baum’s world of fancy and adventure.
The book features vibrant illustrations by Neill, whose artwork is synonymous with the Oz series.
This edition is highly sought after by collectors & Oz enthusiasts.
