A review by sarahanne8382
The Scarecrow of Oz by L. Frank Baum
3.0
#9 of Baum's books about the land of Oz
first published in 1915
Yet again, another delightfully imaginative tale from the land Oz. This one follows the adventures of a retired sailor named Captain Bill and his young friend, a little girl named Trot. While enjoying one of their rides out from the coast of California they are suddenly sucked down a whirlpool and travel through many strange lands until finally landing in the kingdom of Oz, where they eventually meet the Scarecrow.
The one thing that might recommend this book more than other Oz titles is that it was Baum's undisputed favorite among the 15 tales he wrote about the magical land. Either way, if you've liked previous Oz books, you should definitely check this one out.
