Book description
# The Wishing Horse of Oz: A Galloping Good Adventure
## Thompson's Oz Continues to Delight
Ruth Plumly Thompson may not have been L. Frank Baum's niece (despite fan rumors), but she certainly inherited his gift for magical storytelling. Taking over the beloved Oz series in 1921, Thompson brought her own unique flair to Baum's fantastical world while honoring its core spirit.
## What Makes This Audiobook Special?
Classic Thompson Themes Abound:
American child protagonists (this time with Dorothy leading the charge)
Talking animal companions who steal the show
Communities obsessed with single activities (you'll never look at hobbyists the same way)
Romantic subplots that Baum typically avoided
Humor that keeps both kids and adults engaged
## The Story That Grips You
When magic wishing emeralds land in Skampavia, trouble gallops into Oz faster than you can say "Chalk." King Skamperoo's grab for power turns the entire land upside down, leaving Dorothy and her flying pig friend Pigasus as the only ones who remember things as they should be.
What unfolds is pure Oz magic - enchantments to break, unlikely alliances to forge, and mysteries surrounding those emeralds that will keep you guessing until the final chapter.
## Why Audiobook Listeners Love It
Thompson's writing style translates beautifully to audio format. Her emphasis on dialogue and humor makes for perfect listening, while the episodic nature of her Oz adventures keeps each segment engaging. The repetitive themes that some critics note actually become comforting familiar patterns that young listeners adore.
Perfect for family road trips or bedtime stories, this audiobook captures that special blend of wonder and whimsy that made Baum's original so timeless.
The Wishing Horse of Oz proves that sometimes the best adventures come from finding yourself in the most unexpected places - even if you'd rather be home in Kansas.
