@pandanus Aha! It must have been the editor / publisher. Reilly was based in Chicago, where nowadays patio is "pay-show"

#ozathon24 #patio

On page 73 of The Magic of Oz there's a footnote. It's a pronunciation guide for the word patio (because apparently Glinda now has one in her palace).

The footnote reads: *Pronounced pa'-shi-o'

Was that really how it was pronounced in 1919 Los Angeles?

Unimpressed Ev building is unimpressed. From THE MAGIC OF OZ. #ozathon24 #reading

"'Well, perhaps our Emperor is queer... but he is a kind master and as honest and true as good tin can make him; so we, who gladly serve him, are apt to forget that he is not like other people.'" (p. 15)

#Ozathon24 - Rinkitink in Oz, an entertaining fairy tale adventure, if not really an Oz book.

Rereading Tik Tok of Oz by L. Frank Baum #ozathon24 #classics #bookreviews #reread24 #20booksofsummer24

Four stars: Tik-Tok of Oz by L. Frank Baum and John R. Neill (1914) began as a theatrical retelling of Ozma of Oz. Baum, in his enthusiasm to flood the market with all things Oz, had lost the theatrical rights to Ozma, Dorothy and a bunch of other key characters. Tik-Tok, being a rather minor character in the book, was still his. So he created a new princess, a new girl, and a newish adventure centered around the wind-up man from Ev.

p. 65: And now a new POV, Polychrome. It's a veritable hoedown of characters.

p. 58. Ozga, the Rose Kingdom Princess, is a "distant cousin" of Ozma. Cousin by marriage? Ozma is part plant?
