for the most part in later oz books, though, the cowardly lion is a presence rather than a major character. his other significant appearances include "ojo in oz", where he is turned into a clock by mooj and saved by ozma and the wizard. he assisted against the stratovanians in "ozoplaning with the wizard of oz", terp the terrible in "the hidden valley of oz", and accompanied dorothy and prince gules of halidom in "merry go round in oz". john r. neill played him primarily as a beast of burden in his three oz books. in all, the only three books in which the cowardly lion does "not" rate at least a mention are "the tin woodman of oz", "grampa in oz", and "the silver princess in oz". (in "the marvelous land of oz" he receives a bare mention in the eleventh chapter.)
