The Hidden Valley of Oz
''The Hidden Valley of Oz'' (1951) is the thirty-ninth in the series of Oz books created by L. Frank Baum and his successors. It was written by Rachel R. Cosgrove and illustrated by Dirk Gringhuis.
==Realistic emotions==
The children of the Oz books have a pronounced tendency to behave with unnatural courage and independence. Here in ''Hidden Valley'', Dorothy Gale responds to a plan to attack a fifty-foot-tall cannibal giant with "I think it would be lots of fun."〔Rachel R. Cosgrove, ''The Hidden Valley of Oz'', Chicago, Reilly & Lee, 1951; p. 120.〕 Cosgrove, however, takes pains to cast her own child protagonist, Jam, in a more realistic vein. He often expresses fear at the strange goings-on and creatures around him, and longs to return to his home and parents; his part in the denouement of the plot is fairly modest.〔''Hidden Valley'', pp. 113, 118, and ff.〕 He is more like a real child than most Oz children are. Cosgrove even offers oblique acknowledgement that Jam's parents miss him and worry about him through his days-long absence — a rare element in the Oz literature.
