Whats the name of the Soldier with the Green Whiskers?
This is a bit complicated. The Soldier with the Green Whiskers first appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and also takes part in the action in the next book, The Marvelous Land of Oz. He doesn’t appear again until The Patchwork Girl of Oz — until one discovers that he appeared in three books without the green whiskers! In Ozma of Oz, the one private in Ozma’s army is named Omby Amby. Omby Amby also has a large part in The Emerald City of Oz, and reveals that when he was a private, he once cut off his long green whiskers to disguise himself from an army of rebels. The Soldier with the Green Whiskers in The Marvelous Land of Oz even mentioned that he would do just that so he could escape. The Wizard, upon returning to Oz in Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, also recognizes the Soldier with the Green Whiskers, even though he has shaven off his beard (this soldier’s name is not given, but it is clearly the same character). So, the Soldier with the Green Whiskers is named Omby Amby, right? Ma
