Introduction
Hello Girls and Boys, Hello!
Wherever you are, Hello!
Wherever you are and whoever you be
Here's the best of wishes from Oz and me!
Your letters have been so gay,
And so many have come this year,
Placed end to end they would reach
From the Emerald City to here!
And when you have read this book,
I know you will write again,
For I'd like to hear what you think
Of the Medicine Man and Ben.
And this latest happening in Oz.
High doings! High times, sky high!
Imagine a ride on a real HIGH HORSE!
Ever hear of one? (Neither did I!)
But the Prince of the Ozure Isles
And Trot galloped off on one,
And his legs stretched up and his legs stretched down
And how that High Horse could run!
But so you can read it yourself,
I'd better stop now, and here.
Best luck to you all! Best love! and
I'll write a new book next year!
RUTH PLUMLY THOMPSON.
