 Amazon.com: The Silver Princess in Oz: Books: Ruth Plumly Thompson,L. Frank Baum,John R. Neill   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In fairness, the extraterrestrials Thompson created for the book, Planetty and Thun the Thunder Colt, are creatures of fairytale convention and a far cry from the bug-eyed saucer men and glittering robots of the later age.
Thompson fails here not because Planetty, the Girl from Anuther Planet and her fire - breathing steed are creatures of fairytale romance, but simply because Planetty fails as a character and role model of any kind.
Creating new characters was Thompson's forte, but in the Silver Princess In Oz she failed completely, and none of classic members of the Oz royal family appear to add liveliness or spunk to the plodding, repetitive narrative.

 Footnotes 9
The Cowardly Lion of Oz Despite its assertions to the contrary, this record album is NOT based on Ruth Plumy Thompson’s story of the same name, nor any story she ever wrote.
A lengthier, unpublished manuscript of this story exists which, along with the published version, proves some difficulty in dating as the author includes anachronisms to Watergate and Skylab (which would place it at the earliest in the summer of ‘73).
Nevertheless, all indications point to a much earlier placement and Speedy himself states that 8 years have passed since he was last in Umbrella Island (likewise it is very unlikely that he is 50 something year old man at this point).
