Captain Salt in Oz

A voyage on the famous Nonestic Ocean! What could be more thrilling than that? We—many of us—have taken trips on the prosaic Atlantic or even Pacific, but have we found a SEA FOREST with flying fish and swimming birds? Have we been pursued by a real SEA SERPENT, or had our ship transfixed by the immense ivory tusk of a NARWHAL? Have we come upon the glittering island of PEAKENSPIRE, or made friends with a charming talking hippopotamus? Yet all these things and more befall Captain Salt, one time Pirate and now Royal Explorer of Oz, and his merry crew. They come back with their hold bursting with unique and fascinating specimens, with their chart crowded with new islands, all claimed for Ozma of Oz! Captain Salt in Oz is the thirtieth in the series of Oz novels created by L. Frank Baum.

Dear Boys and Girls:

Another year—
Another book,
And this time a voyage
That Sam Salt took
In that good old Ship,
The Crescent Moon—
Steering by compass,
By star and moon,
To discover new countries
For OZ. Hear! Hear!
He's discovered a whole
New Hemisphere!
Three cheers for Sam,
And his jolly crew,
And three for OZ
And three for YOU,
And three for me,
Though I don't need cheer
'Cause the letters you write
Keep me gay ALL year!
So keep writing to me about Oz and everything, will you? And remember to put your full name and complete address on the letter. Righto!

And Best till I hear from you!
