Until 1935 First Edition Oz books had color illustrations. Everyone incorrectly dates all subsequent books to 1930. Crazy hard to date covers.

The Yellow Knight of Oz (1930) is the twenty-fourth in the series of Oz books created by L. Frank Baum and his successors, and the tenth written by Ruth Plumly Thompson. It was illustrated by John R. Neill.

Sir Hokus grows tired of Emerald City, and he and the Comfortable Camel set out for some adventure. Sir Hokes wants to rescue a damsel in distress, or find a monster to fight. Meanwhile, a boy named Speedy blasts his way to Oz in a homemade rocket ship, & finds himself in the underground kingdom of Subterranea. At his touch, a golden statue of a beautiful girl comes to life and she accompanies him.
