The Royal Book of Oz is the fourteenth Oz book in the Famous Forty, and the first to be written by Ruth Plumly Thompson after Baum's death.

The Scarecrow is upset when Professor Woggle-bug tells him that he has no family, so he goes to where Dorothy found him to trace his 'roots'. Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion search for him, eventually meeting with a knight, Sir Hokus, the Doubtful Dromedary and the Comfortable Camel. Although Thompson has a different style of writing which comes as a bit of a shock, it is a fantastic first effort on her part.
