The Scarecrow of Oz by L. Frank Baum, illustrated by John R. Neill. When a whirlpool pulls Trot and her peg-legged sailor friend, Cap'n Bill, into an underwater cave, they find themselves at the start of a wild adventure that eventually brings them to Oz. Befriended by the propeller-tailed Ork and Button-Bright - who's lost once again - they find their way to Oz, only to run afoul of the evil King Krewl and the wicked witch Blinkie. Luckily, Glinda the Good learns of their plight and sends the Scarecrow to their rescue! But can even the ever-resourceful Scarecrow best this wily pair?
