Conquer the world -- when the world means the fabulous Land of Oz, ruled by the beloved Ozma? Impossible! But not if you are Queen Ann of Oogaboo, who assembles an army of all the men in her kingdom -- all eighteen of them! In this delightful tale, readers join in the adventures of Betsy Bobbins, Glinda the Good, Shaggy Man, and the Rose Princess . . . and of course the "Patent Double-Action, Extra-Responsive, Thought-Creating, Perfect-Talking "MECHANICAL MAN"" -- Tik-Tok himself.
