The book is subtitled Being a true and faithful chronicle of the discovery that there exists a Blue emperor in the land of Oz, and what became of him and his faithful drinking mug, Hiccup. Blossom wrote undeterred by the fact that he infringed on copyrights. He used the character Jam as his protagonist, a character created by Rachel Cosgrove in 1951 and protected by copyright (then and now). Also, most of L. Frank Baum's original Oz books were still protected by copyright in 1966. The name Ozroar was suggested by Fred M. Meyer. It has been picked up and used by later Oz writers.
