Summary "The Gnome King of Oz" by Ruth Plumly Thompson is a fantasy novel written in the late 1920s. This engaging tale acts as a continuation of the famous Oz series originally created by L. Frank Baum and follows the quirky adventures of characters in the magical Land of Oz. The narrative introduces readers to a host of fantastical characters, including the Gnome King Ruggedo, the Patchwork Girl Scraps, and two quirky ministers of the Quilt Kingdom, Piecer and Scrapper, as they embark on unexpected quests and dilemmas. At the start of the story, we learn that Ruggedo, the old Gnome King, has escaped from captivity, leading to a flurry of excitement as the characters react to this news. Queen Cross Patch, a rather cross and patchy ruler of the Quilties, goes to pieces in a dramatic event, prompting her ministers to embark on a quest to find a new queen. This adventure takes them down a whimsical path as they encounter various challenges and comedic situations. Meanwhile, a boy named Peter from Philadelphia unwittingly becomes involved in the unfolding events, eventually crossing paths with Ruggedo and the other characters in a tale filled with magic, humor, and intrigue.
