John R Neill

The old sailorman and the little girl are miraculously saved and regain consciousness to find themselves in a sea cavern. (To this day Trot asserts she felt mermaid arms about her during those terrible moments under water.) They experience one perilous adventure after another until eventually they make their way to Jinxland and meet the Scarecrow who takes charge of things once Cap'n Bill is transformed into a tiny grasshopper with a wooden leg. Will the Captain remain a grasshopper or will Trot the Scarecrow and their friends be able to restore him to his former shape and life? Find out in the exciting conclusion of The Scarecrow of Oz. This lavishly illustrated edition has more than one hundred illustrations by John R. Neill.
