Lucky Bucky in Oz (1942) is the thirty-sixth book in the Oz series created by L. Frank Baum and his successors, and the third and last written and illustrated solely by John R. Neill. (He wrote a fourth, The Runaway in Oz, but died before illustrating it.)[1] The book was followed by The Magical Mimics in Oz (1943).
Bucky Jones is aboard a tugboat in New York Harbor when the boiler blows up. He is soon blown into the Nonestic Ocean where he meets Davy Jones, a wooden whale.[2] The pair take an undersea route to the Emerald City, and have many adventures along the way.
