The Marvelous Land of Oz - The Land of Oz Series, Book #2 - Unabridged
By L. Frank Baum & Kevin TheisPublisher Description
"The Marvelous Land of Oz" is L. Frank Baum's thrilling follow-up to his smash-hit book "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."
Instead of Dorothy this time around, the hero of this tale is a young orphan -Tip - who has lived all his life in the northern part of Oz called Gillikin Country under a tyrannical witch named Mombi. Tip attempts to play a prank on Mombi by scaring her with a stuffed man with a carved pumpkin head (who he calls, appropriately, "Jack Pumpkinhead"), but after an angry Mombi animates Jack with her "Powder of Life" and vows to punish Tip, the young man flees the Gillikin Country with Jack in tow to make his way to the Emerald City.
What follows is a wild tale filled with fantastical creatures, magic spells and two familiar figures - the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodsman from the original Oz book. "The Marvelous Land of Oz" is the second of thirteen Oz books that Baum would pen in his career and is a favorite among fans of the series. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
