Thompson does it again

I found "The Cowardly Lion of Oz" to be among thebest Oz Books ever written. Bob Up, an orphan teams up with Notta BitMore, a circus clown, to steal the Cowardly Lion for Mustafa ofMudge's lion collection. How they manage to run into the Lion andbefriend him, while still trying to fulfill their mission, makes for agreat story.
