The Magic Dishpan of Oz is a 1994 children's book written by Jeff Freedman and illustrated by Denis McFarling.[1] The book is a contribution to the ever-growing Oz series, originated by L. Frank Baum and continued by many successors.[2][3][4]
The book was published by the Emerald City Press, an imprint of Books of Wonder that specializes in Oz literature.
Freedman's book draws on the general Oz mythos, and in particular on two volumes of the "Famous Forty" — Baum's The Lost Princess of Oz (1917) and Ruth Plumly Thompson's The Silver Princess in Oz (1938). The magic dishpan of Freedman's title is the diamond-encrusted golden dishpan that belonged to Cayke the Cookie Cook in the Baum book.
