The Lost King of Oz by Ruth Plumly Thompson

The Lost King of Oz (1925) is the nineteenth in the series of Oz books created by L. Frank Baum and his successors, and the fifth written by Ruth Plumly Thompson. It was Illustrated by John R. Neill.
Old Mombi, formerly the Wicked Witch of the North, is now stripped of all her magic and working as a cook in the land of Kimbaloo. One day she comes across Pajuka, the former prime minister of Oz, transformed by Mombi into a goose years before. She sets out with Pajuka and a boy named Snip to find Pastoria, the former king of Oz, whom she also enchanted in the past.
