The Hungry Tiger of Oz

Introduction

Well, My Dears: Here I am again to say, How do you do and how do you do it? How do you manage to write such jolly letters about Oz? From every state and Canada they have come pouring in to make me happy and, as Ozma remarked to the Scarecrow, when I showed them all to her, "Why we have as many loyal subjects outside of Oz as we have here in the country."

"So we have!" chuckled the Scarecrow, "and more patriozic, too. Three cheers for the boys and girls! I wish we could invite them all to the Emerald City."

I wish so, too, but I am afraid if we all did march upon the capitol of Oz we would crowd out the celebrities. But it is nice to be invited. And what do you s'pose has been happening there now? "Another war?" you ask. Well, not exactly, but the most surprising lot of adventures in which Betsy Bobbin and the Hungry Tiger have the most exciting parts.
