From the publisher

A sequel to the “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, this 1904 book by L. Frank Baum delves once more into the Land of Oz after Dorothy’s return to Kansas in a story that follows the adventure of a boy named Tip. In “The Marvelous Land of Oz” the reader is introduced to Tip after he escapes the witch Mombi. Tip travels the lands of Oz with a group of friends and has numerous adventures, including encountering an army of wild women, escaping violent creatures such as the Jackdaws, seeking Glinda the Good, and ultimately meeting his destiny in the Emerald City. Baum infuses his land of fantasy with new characters while utilizing some of the familiar personalities of the first novel, creating an engaging and memorable cast and an entertaining plot that twists and turns when the reader least expects it. “The Marvelous Land of Oz” is a well-crafted novel that continues to entertain audiences over one hundred years after its first publication.
