The Queen of Quok

The Queen of Quok by L. Frank Baum is a witty fairy-tale satire about royalty, greed, and unexpected responsibility.

The story explores foolishness, social ambition, power, and the comic contrast between childish honesty and adult self-interest. Recommended for listeners who enjoy whimsical classic fantasy, humorous fairy tales, and sharp social satire.
