Synopsis

In 'Captain Salt in Oz,' Ruth Plumly Thompson enchants readers with a vibrant continuation of L. Frank Baum's beloved Oz series. This whimsical tale introduces Captain Salt, a character steeped in maritime adventures, who embarks on a journey through the fantastical landscapes of Oz, encountering diverse inhabitants and navigating the challenges of magic and friendship.

The book is set against the backdrop of the early 20th-century American children's literature landscape, characterized by a burgeoning interest in fantasy and adventure narratives that push the boundaries of imagination.

Her experiences, coupled with a fascination for adventure and exploration, undoubtedly influenced her writing process, allowing her to construct a unique lens through which readers can engage with the enchanting world of Oz. Readers seeking an imaginative escape into a beautifully crafted narrative filled with whimsical characters and extraordinary adventures will find 'Captain Salt in Oz' a delightful addition to the literary canon of Oz. Thompson'Äôs adept storytelling invites both longtime fans and new readers to revel in the magic, humor, and heart that distinguishes this enchanting series.

    In this charming children's tale, The Christmas Time Travelers II: The Professor's Journey, four dogs, a time machine, and a curious and well-meaning professor will visit ancient Bethlehem on a very special night. Professor Malcolm McDougal lives in the pleasant, almost old-fashioned town of Coventry, in New England. Two years ago on Christmas Eve, his three furry canines - Lily, Benji, and Karat - were transported by his special invention - the time machine - and took a remarkable trip to Bethlehem. Lily returned with a small scrap of the blue blanket wrapped around the baby Jesus accidentally caught on her collar. Now Christmas is coming around, and a fourth pet has joined the group - Jem, a sweet but very restless puppy. The Professor begins to imagine that he could also make that journey, to see with his own eyes what his pets saw two years before. He rushes to the costume shop just in time to garb himself in authentic looking shepherd's robe, belt, and head covering. After he activates his invention and disappears to the past, the dogs, curious, hop into the machine. Jem's excitement causes a paw to hit the start button. Thus they will all wind up in Bethlehem, very identifiable because of the bright star shining overhead, and all will witness the holy child and his mother being visited and adored by a group of reverential shepherds. The wise Professor will take two significant actions before returning to the present, demonstrating valuable lessons about the best way to remember his life-changing experience.
