INTRODUCING THIS STORY
Here is a story with a boy hero, and a boy of whom
you have never before heard. There are girls in the
story, too, including our old friend Dorothy, and some
of the characters wander a good way from the Land of
Oz before they all assemble in the Emerald City to
take part in Ozma's banquet. Indeed, I think you will
find this story quite different from the other histories
of Oz, but I hope you will not like it the less on that
account.
If I am permitted to write another Oz book it will

tell of some thrilling adventures encountered by
Dorothy, Betsy Bobbin, Trot and the Patchwork Girl
right in the Land of Oz, and how they discovered
some amazing creatures that never could have existed
outside a fairyland. I have an idea that about the time
you are reading this story of Rinkitink I shall be
writing that story of Adventures in Oz.
Don't fail to write me often and give me your
advice and suggestions, which I always appreciate. I
get a good many letters from my readers, but every
one is a joy to me and I answer them as soon as I can
find time to do so.
