Frank Baum's eldest son, wanted to continue the Oz series, but at his father's death he was in the American Expeditionary Force in France, and by the time that he was able to return to the United States, Ruth Plumly Thompson had become Royal Historian of Oz. He wrote a full-length fantasy entitled Rosine in Oz (later retitled Rosine and the Laughing Dragon) but Reilly & Lee would not publish it. A portion of the manuscript was published in 1934 by the Whitman Publishing Company as The Laughing Dragon of Oz, a volume in the "Big Little Book" series. Publisher and author planned a sequel to be entitled The Enchanted Princess of Oz. Before that book could appear, Reilly & Lee brought suit against Whitman. The matter was settled when Whitman agreed not to reprint The Laughing Dragon of Oz or to publish The Enchanted Princess of Oz." A nearly fine copy of this fragile and increasingly scarce book.
