![]() ![]() Of the two, tall, skinny, mercenary Prince Tintac Ping Foo has the edge because of his way with words. He could never raise his voice in foolish rage, or be a tattle-tale behind your back.Īny sensible person would put their money on the other two suitors, Wicked Prince Tintac Ping Foo or Wicked Prince Rubdub Ben Thud of Arabia. He was never lazy, impudent, or ill-mannered. He was deeply fond of both of his parents. He laughed too easily, and he was much too sympathetic. He was far too considerate of other people’s feelings. He was too amiable too good-natured too kindly too honest, and too-fair-minded. The hero of The Land of Green Ginger, Prince Abu Ali, is not the likeliest of lads. Langley also turned out plays, short stories and novels, but what he is remembered for besides the screenplay for The Wizard of Oz is his over-the-top pseudo-Oriental fantasy, The Land of Green Ginger, which he rewrote in 19, both accompanied by the illustrations of Edward Ardizzone. ![]() ![]() Poster for the Wizard of Oz screenplay with Langley’s name at the head of the list of writers. ![]()
