Prince Tatters

also Tatters

Prince Tatters is the young Prince of Ragbad, son of King Fumbo and Mrs Sew-and-Sew.

First named in Grampa in Oz, ch. 1

Tatters, the young Prince of Ragbad, was off on a picnic with the Redsmith, and Scroggles, the footman-of-all-work about the castle, was mending a hole in the roof, so none of them heard the King’s calls.
