Jinnicky the Red Jinn The Red Jinn, later known as Jinnicky, is one of Ruth Plumly Thompson's most frequently occurring characters in her Oz books. He was first introduced in "Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz" as a mysterious figure who educates Jack Pumpkinhead on the use of the Pirate Sack. Although a detailed description is included in the text, "Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz" includes no illustrations of the Red Jinn aside from a gruesome color plate that did not appear outside the first edition, in which he has massive piercings. He was reintroduced, drawn, and given the name Jinnicky in "The Purple Prince of Oz"; he also appeared in the follow-up, "The Silver Princess in Oz". (He makes a cameo appearance in "The Wishing Horse of Oz", and he is the principal pre-existing character in Thompson's sub-canonical penultimate Oz book, "Yankee in Oz"). Jack Snow apparently thought the Red Jinn was a separate character, for he considered "The Purple Prince of Oz" Jinnicky's first appearance in "Who's Who in Oz", though he did not include a separate Red Jinn entry.
Rinkitink in Oz Rinkitink in Oz: Wherein is Recorded the Perilous Quest of Prince Inga of Pingaree and King Rinkitink in the Magical Isles that Lie Beyond the Borderland of Oz. is the tenth book in the Land of Oz series written by L. Frank Baum. Published on June 20, 1916, with full-color and black-and-white illustrations by artist John R. Neill, it is significant that no one from Oz appears in the book until its climax; this is due to Baum's having originally written most of the book as an original fantasy novel over ten years earlier, in 1905. Most of the action takes place on three islands – Pingaree, Regos, and Coregos – and within the Nome King's caverns. Since the original ruler of the nomes, Roquat – who later renamed himself Ruggedo, was deposed in 1914's "Tik-Tok of Oz", Baum had to cleverly rework the tale to accommodate his successor, the well-intentioned – but politically motivated – Kaliko.
