The Magical Monarch of Mo - Mo in Other Baum Books

Mo in Other Baum Books

Some of the characters in the Oz books are or appear to be derived from characters in The Magical Monarch of Mo, such as:

• The Cast-iron Man - He is similar to Tik-Tok of the Oz books, because they are both men who run off of machinery instead of being truly alive.
• The Yellow Hen - She is similar to Billina, who is also known as "The Yellow Hen", because they both are sassy and have fixed habits when it comes to laying eggs.
• The Sorceress Maëtta - She is similar to the Sorceress Glinda, because they are both kind, beautiful and powerful sorceresses that others call upon when they need help. She replaces Glinda in The Woggle-Bug, a musical extravaganza by Baum and Frederic Chapin based on The Marvelous Land of Oz, since aside from stating that it is in the Land of Oz, all references to any material in The Wizard of Oz play are omitted, since the show was concurrently running—no Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, or Glinda, and the Emerald City becomes the "City of Jewels."
• The Wise Donkey - He has a cameo in The Patchwork Girl of Oz

Part of The Scarecrow of Oz takes place in Mo, although none of the characters from The Magical Monarch of Mo appear in that book. The principal character we meet in Mo in that book is The Bumpy Man, who is first introduced in that book.
