| Summary |
"Glinda of Oz" by L. Frank Baum is a fantasy novel originally written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows Princess Ozma of Oz and her companion, Dorothy, as they embark on an adventurous mission to resolve a brewing conflict between two magical tribes known as the Skeezers and the Flatheads. Their journey is filled with enchanting characters and magical elements, with the good Sorceress Glinda playing a pivotal role in the unfolding events. At the start of the story, we see Glinda welcoming Ozma and Dorothy to her palace in the beautiful Quadling Country. The tone is cheerful and filled with camaraderie until the discussion turns serious when they learn about a declaration of war between the Skeezers and the Flatheads. Intrigued by the sudden conflict, Ozma expresses her determination to prevent war, insisting on her duty to ensure peace within her realm. With parental concern, Glinda warns of potential dangers, suggesting that their path could be treacherous. Ultimately, the opening sets the stage for an expedition where Ozma and Dorothy must gather allies and face the unknown to uphold harmony in the Land of Oz.
