The Shaggy Man of Oz
''The Shaggy Man of Oz'' (1949) is the thirty-eighth in the series of Oz books created by L. Frank Baum and his successors, and the second and last by Jack Snow. It was illustrated by Frank G. Kramer. The book entered the public domain in the United States when its copyright was not renewed as required.〔US Copyright Office. http://www.copyright.gov/〕
In ''The Shaggy Man of Oz'' as in his previous book, ''The Magical Mimics in Oz'' (1946), Snow returned to the Oz books of Baum for his inspiration and his conceptual framework. He avoided all use of characters and plot elements introduced in the Oz books of Ruth Plumly Thompson and John R. Neill, his predecessors in the post of "Royal Historian of Oz."
==''Shaggy Man'' and ''John Dough''==
For his first Oz book, Snow had relied heavily upon Baum's ''The Emerald City of Oz''. (Far from concealing it, Snow made the relationship between the two books clear in his text.) For his second venture, Snow depended upon Baum's 1906 novel ''John Dough and the Cherub''.〔David L. Greene and Dick Martin, ''The Oz Scrapbook'', New York, Random House, 1977; p. 79.〕 In both books, the protagonists escape an exotic but risky place (in Baum, the Island of Phreex; in Snow, Conjo's island) in a borrowed flying machine; they travel to other places from which, in turn, they again need to escape. Baum has a Palace of Romance, and Snow, a Valley of Romance. In Baum's Hiland, the people are tall and thin and live in tall thin houses — just as in Snow's Hightown. And in both novels, the heroes meet the King of the Fairy Beavers, who helps them to their final destination.
