Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz

Whimsical, wondrous, and bursting with adventure, Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz continues the magical legacy of L. Frank Baum’s timeless land. Written by Ruth Plumly Thompson, this enchanting tale follows Peter, a clever boy from Philadelphia, who finds himself whisked back to Oz by a magical pirate coin. There, he reunites with the lovable Jack Pumpkinhead—a literal pumpkin-headed character whose clumsy charm is matched only by his curious outlook on life.

Together, Peter and Jack embark on a journey across the fantastical lands of Oz, meeting bizarre and hilarious characters like the Iffin, a philosophical beast; Baron Belfaygor, whose beard grows faster than he can manage; and the mysterious Red Jinn. Along the way, they confront eerie smoke creatures, a menacing Christmas tree, two-headed Fraid Cats, and the villainous Baron Mogodore—all leading to a showdown that threatens the peace of the Emerald City.

A delightful blend of clever wordplay, playful danger, and classic Oz magic, Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz is a heartwarming audio adventure for fans of imaginative fantasy—perfect for young listeners and nostalgic grown-ups alike.
