Prince Pompadore is celebrating his eighteenth birthday when out of his birthday cake bursts a magic scroll, a magic mirror, and a doorknob. The scroll warns the young prince that if he does not marry a "proper princess" in a week, his entire kingdom will disappear.
With the help of his elephant Kabumpo, Prince Pompadore sets out to Emerald City to find a princess to marry. However, the proper princess that the Prince is searching for may not be who he expects.
Praise for the Oz series
"Where the young stay young and the old grow young forever--these books are for readers of all ages."--Ray Bradbury
"The land of Oz has managed to fascinate each new generation. . . . The Oz books continue to exert their spell . . . and those who read [them] are often made what they were not--imaginative, tolerant, alert to wonders."--Gore Vidal
"I was raised with the Oz books, and their enchantment, humor and excitement remain with me. They are still a joy and a treasure. I welcome this Oz revival."--Stephen R. Donaldson
