	Ruth Plumly Thompson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ruth Plumly Thompson (1891-1976) was an American writer of children's stories.
		An avid reader of Baum's books and a lifelong children's writer, Thompson was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and began her writing career in 1914 when she sold stories to newspapers and magazines.
		Thompson's contributions to the Oz series are lively and imaginative, featuring a wide range of colorful and unusual characters.

	Amazon.ca: Hungry Tiger of Oz (the Wonderful Oz Books, #20): Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Ruth Plumly Thompson's The Hungry Tiger Of Oz (1926), though less than fully developed, is nonetheless an enjoyable fantasy novel.
		As in too many of her Oz titles, Thompson opens the book with a boy hero, Prince Evered, in trouble within his own kingdom; when not being threatened with unattractive marriages, Thompson's boy kings and princes have usually been toppled from their thrones and hidden away in dark dungeons by wicked adult conspirators.
		Ruth Plumly Thompson creates another exciting, imaginative tale, as the Hungry Tiger, Betsy Bobbin and Carter the Vegetable Man travel through Oz in search of the stolen Rash Rubies, which will help the Scarlet Prince regain his throne.

		This is Ruth Plumly Thompson's second Oz book, and it is a definite improvement over her first effort, THE ROYAL BOOK OF OZ.
		While Thompson still makes some mistakes, including some involving the timing of the story, this book shows that she can write just as well as Baum, and was an excellent choice to continue the Oz series.
		Ruth Plumly Thompson, author of "Kabumpo in Oz," continued the Oz series after creator L. Frank Baum's death.

		The bad news is that the best of Thompson's books (of the 12 I've read thus far) is not as good as the least of Baum's The early ones especially are fairly weak but they have tended towards improvement.
		Thompson does continue to demonstrate her flair for puns and other plays on words.
		It's almost as if Thompson felt she HAD to include some of these villages (maybe to pad out the book, which isn't one of her longer ones), but had trouble coming up with ideas for them that she could really develop.

		As usual, Thompson does a good job with this character, making him a threatening yet childish and humorous villain.
		(Incidentally, in case you're wondering, Thompson used the traditional spelling of "gnome," hence the book title, but I prefer to use Baum's spelling.) The Patchwork Girl also makes an appearance, and Peter helps her to escape from Patch, another one of the tiny kingdoms scattered throughout Oz (and the second to emphasize sewing).
		Ruth Plumly Thompson again cooks up a breezy story full of off-the-wall jokes and lively characters.

	The Royal Book of Oz by L. Frank Baum, Ruth Plumly Thompson (Editor) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This book is Ruth Plumly Thompson's first foray into Oz writing (and it is entirely hers, despite the publishers' initial story that she had written it based on notes left by L. Frank Baum), and it is hardly her best work, but it isn't her worst, either.
		She does a good job working with Baum's characters, and the premise of the book is an attempt to solve one of the greatest mysteries left behind by Baum: why the Scarecrow is alive.
		Thompson seemed to want to make Oz more multicultural than Baum left it, and, to this end, she used this book to introduce an Arthurian knight and an Oriental kingdom.

	Great Science-Fiction & Fantasy Works: Ruth Plumly Thompson
		Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn't think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it.
		My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales Thompson tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Thompson worthy; in sum, to help you rank Shetterly (and the works by Thompson listed here) on your personal literary "to do" list.
		After Baum's death, Thompson continued the Oz series past his 14 titles, writing 19 herself; they are closely comparable to the originals in flavor and quality.

		This book was one of John R. Neil's favorites and he praised Reilly and Lee for getting an author so much like Baum.
		Ruth Plumly Thompson spelled Nome with a G now, like it was supposed to be spelled.
		But Ruggedo is my favorite villain and Kabumpo the Elegant Elephant is such a wonderful character, that this is easily one of Ruth Plumly Thompson's best books.

		Baum's widow, Maud Baum, added to the smokescreen by writing a preface for the new book that mentioned some notes her husband had left that formed the basis for the story.
		Thompson's sole authorship of The Royal Book of Oz was first acknowledged in Jack Snow's Who's Who in Oz, published in 1954, and the first edition to feature Thompson's name on the cover as author was the Del Rey paperback edition of 1985.

		The Cowardly Lion of Oz In which the Cowardly Lion, who lost his courage soon after the Wizard of Oz gave it to him, in the third Oz book OZMA OF OZ, goes in search of a brave man so he can get permanent courage.
		The publishers wanted Thompson to give the titles the names of some of the characters from the Baum books, so people could recognize them easily.
		Baum never gave any Oz title any animal names, but Thompson does this with KABUMPO IN OZ, THE COWARDLY LION OF OZ, THE HUNGRY TIGER OF OZ, etc. I had a great read when I read this book.

		Perhaps the biggest criticism of Thompson's continuation of the Oz series is that in most of her books, the characters wander from strange place to ever stranger strange places without much point to their wanderings.
		Speedy, the boy from America and one of Thompson's own characters, finds himself on Umbrella Island in the company of a reanimated, fossilized dinosaur.
		As is usual, Thompson does best when her own creations are at the forefront and her predecessor's are just backdrop.

		Frank Baum was forced by demand to create book after book about Dorothy and her friends—including the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, and Glinda the Good Witch.
		When Baum died in 1919, the series lived on under the authorship of Ruth Plumly Thompson and others who themselves had loved the stories as children.
		Published in many foreign countries, The Wizard even found its way as far as Russia, where it was translated in 1939 by Alexander Volkov, who then wrote two Oz books of his own.

	Kabumpo in Oz by Ruth Plumly Thompson Detailed Book Review
		Two other new but critical characters in this adventure are Peg (aka Peg Amy, Trot's wooden doll, brought to life by Ruggedo through experiments with Glegg's Box), and Wag, a rabbit (blown up to human size by the same method).
		Unfortunately, it tends to kidnap characters along the way.This 1922 book was Thompson's second Oz pastiche after the death of Baum, and holds up well, especially with the plentiful and marvelous drawings of John R. Neill, who illustrated most of Baum's (and many other) Oz books.
