"Rinkitink in Oz" is the tenth book in the Land of Oz series. Most of the action takes place on three islands β Pingaree, Regos, and Coregos β and within the Nome King's caverns. Since the original ruler of the nomes, Roquat β 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 β but politically motivated β Kaliko.
