question: Jinnicky the Red Jinn was a character that appeared in what 1938 novel by L. Frank Baum?
answer: The Silver Princess in Oz
context: Title: Jinnicky the Red Jinn
  Passage: The Red Jinn, later known as Jinnicky, is one of Ruth Plumly Thompson's most frequently occurring characters in her Oz books.  He was first introduced in "Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz" as a mysterious figure who educates Jack Pumpkinhead on the use of the Pirate Sack.  Although a detailed description is included in the text, "Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz" includes no illustrations of the Red Jinn aside from a gruesome color plate that did not appear outside the first edition, in which he has massive piercings.  He was reintroduced, drawn, and given the name Jinnicky in "The Purple Prince of Oz"; he also appeared in the follow-up, "The Silver Princess in Oz".  (He makes a cameo appearance in "The Wishing Horse of Oz", and he is the principal pre-existing character in Thompson's sub-canonical penultimate Oz book, "Yankee in Oz").  Jack Snow apparently thought the Red Jinn was a separate character, for he considered "The Purple Prince of Oz" Jinnicky's first appearance in "Who's Who in Oz", though he did not include a separate Red Jinn entry.
  Title: The Wizard of Oz (1933 film)
  Passage: The Wizard of Oz (1933) is a Canadian animated short film directed by Ted Eshbaugh.  The story is credited to "Col. Frank Baum."  Frank Joslyn Baum, a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army and eldest son of writer L. Frank Baum, was involved in the film's production, and may have had an involvement in the film's script, which is loosely inspired by the elder Baum's novel, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz".  It runs approximately eight and a half minutes and is nearly absent of language, working mainly with arrangements of classical music created by Carl W. Stalling.
  Title: Father Goose: His Book
  Passage: Father Goose: His Book is a collection of nonsense poetry for children, written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow, and first published in 1899.  Though generally neglected a century later, the book was a groundbreaking sensation in its own era; "once America's best-selling children's book and L. Frank Baum's first success," "Father Goose" laid a foundation for the writing career that soon led to "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and all of Baum's later work.
  Title: Plays of L. Frank Baum
  Passage: The plays of L. Frank Baum are an important aspect of Baum's writing career about which some of the least is known.  While even most brief biographies, long before the Internet, have noted Baum's work as a playwright, these works have been rarely performed beyond his lifetime, and almost none have been published aside from two scenarios and a first act of three unfinished works in "The Musical Fantasies of L. Frank Baum", compiled with an introduction by Alla T. Ford.  Aside from his youthful success with "The Maid of Arran", his blockbuster eight-year run with "The Wizard of Oz", his failure with "The Woggle-Bug", and "The Tik-Tok Man of Oz" as source material for his novel, "Tik-Tok of Oz", very little is known about his dramatic output, and mostly from the publications of Michael Patrick Hearn, Susan Ferrara, and Katharine M. Rogers.  Hearn identifies 41 different titles in the bibliography of the 2000 edition of "The Annotated Wizard of Oz", plus one play without a title, although some of these titles clearly refer to drafts of the same play, such as the early titles of "The Tik-Tok Man of Oz".
  Title: The Dreamer of Oz: The L. Frank Baum Story
  Passage: The Dreamer of Oz: The L. Frank Baum Story is a 1990 made-for-television biographical film starring John Ritter as Lyman Frank Baum, the man who wrote "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and thirteen of the other Oz books.  Also starring in this TV movie was Annette O'Toole as Baum's supportive wife, Maud, and Rue McClanahan as Baum's tough mother-in-law, Matilda Gage.  John's son, Jason Ritter, makes his debut in this telefilm as Harry Neal Baum.  At the time of the film's debut, O'Toole and Ritter also starred in "It", a TV miniseries where they played a couple.
  Title: Roger S. Baum
  Passage: Roger Stanton Baum (born 1938) is a former banker and stockbroker, and currently (as of 2005) a children's author, residing in Las Vegas.  Baum publishes under the name Roger S. Baum.  Baum is a former resident of Los Angeles.  He also tours the country, reading from and signing his children's books.  Baum is a great-grandson of L. Frank Baum, the original creator of the "Oz" series, and grandson of Frank Joslyn Baum, who published "The Laughing Dragon of Oz" in 1935.  Many of Roger S. Baum's children's books are set in the same world.
  Title: The Silver Princess in Oz
  Passage: The Silver Princess in Oz (1938) is the thirty-second of the Oz books created by L. Frank Baum and his successors, and the eighteenth written by Ruth Plumly Thompson.  It was illustrated by John R. Neill.
  Title: The Wizard of the Emerald City
  Passage: The Wizard of the Emerald City (Russian: Волшебник Изумрудного Города ) is a 1939 children's novel by Russian writer Alexander Melentyevich Volkov.  The book is a re-narration of L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz".  Baum's name is sometimes credited in the book (in the appendix by Volkov, which is found in some editions, where Volkov describes the origins of his book).  The names of most characters are changed, some elements of Baum's novel are removed, and some new elements are added.  The book was illustrated by Leonid Vladimirski in 1959 and became quite popular in the 1960s, leading to five sequels: "Urfin Jus and his Wooden Soldiers" (1963), "The Seven Underground Kings" (1964), "The Fiery God of the Marrans" (1968), "The Yellow Fog" (1970), and "The Secret of the Abandoned Castle" (1975, published in 1982).  These sequels were written by Volkov himself and are not based on Baum's plot elements, although we do encounter the powder of life, a character called Charlie Black who is not unlike Cap'n Bill, intelligent foxes, and the use of a Sandboat similar to Johnny Dooit's, albeit with wheels.
  Title: L. Frank Baum's Juvenile Speaker
  Passage: L. Frank Baum's Juvenile Speaker: Readings and Recitations in Prose and Verse, Humorous and Otherwise is an anthology of literary works by L. Frank Baum, author of the Oz books.  The book was first published in 1910, with illustrations by veteran Baum artists John R. Neill and Maginel Wright Enright; a subsequent 1912 edition was retitled Baum's Own Book for Children.  The book constitutes a complex element in the Baum bibliography.
  Title: The Maid of Arran
  Passage: The Maid of Arran, An Idyllic Irish Drama Written for the People, Irrespective of Caste or Nationality is an 1882 musical play by L. Frank Baum, writing and performing under the pseudonym, "Louis F. Baum", based on the novel "A Princess of Thule" by William Black.  It was described as "A Play to Ensnare All Hearts and Leave an Impress of Beauty and Nobility Within the Sordid Mind of Man."  The play resets the novel from Scotland's Outer Hebrides to Ireland (although Arran is actually in Scotland—Baum probably meant Aran, but never changed it).  This was a well-received melodrama with elaborate stage effects, including a storm upon a ship, and an original score by Baum himself.  Unfortunately, only the songbook for the windows use survives, which omits two of the songs referenced in the script (the manuscript did not include the lyrics).  Baum played the main character, Hugh Holcomb, originally called Frank Lavender in the novel, in its initial tour (including two stints on Broadway), and later played Con.  O'Mara, the heroine's father, in a community theatre revival.
