The Patchwork Girl of Oz

Description

This is the seventh book of the Oz series. The Patchwork Girl is one of the most delightful of the stories. The most important new character is Miss Scraps Patches, the patchwork girl herself, who is only a large stuffed doll, but very much alive thanks to the magic Powder of Life, and very brainy, because her stuffing has been well dosed with a part of the contents of all the bottles on the shelf labeled "Brain Furniture" . Then there is the Woozy, a strange little animal "all squares and flat surfaces and edges", who isn t very important except for the three hairs at the end of his tail; his only talent is his fire-flashing eyes. Another unusual creation is Bungle, a glass cat, who is completely transparent and quite conceited because of her pink brains: "You can see em work."
