Unc Nunkie

Unc Nunkie

Unc Nunkie is a character from the fictional Oz book series by L. Frank Baum. He first appeared in "The Patchwork Girl of Oz". Unc Nunkie is an elderly Munchkin who lived with his nephew, Ojo the Lucky, in the forests in Munchkin Country. Unc Nunkie was known for speaking primarily in one-word, monosyllabic sentences, though he very occasionally made a "long" speech using two words. Locals attributed his laconic nature to concealment of royal blood.

Unc Nunkie was accidentally turned to stone by Dr. Pipt's Liquid of Petrification, resulting in his nephew Ojo going on a quest to find the ingredients needed for the antidote.

Ruth Plumly Thompson explored the "royal blood" thread in "Ojo in Oz".
