The Royal Book of Oz, designated as a canonical work in the Oz series by original publisher Reilly & Lee.[1] It was written entirely by Ruth Plumly Thompson in 1921 after the death of original series writer L. Frank Baum in 1919.

The canon of a work of fiction is "the body of works taking place in a particular fictional world that are widely considered to be official or authoritative; [especially] those created by the original author or developer of the world".[2] Canon is contrasted with, or used as the basis for, works of fan fiction and other derivative works.[3]
