First published in 1907, “Ozma of Oz” is the third book in L. Frank Baum’s Oz series. Dorothy’s story is continued with her beloved companions and given further life with inventive new characters, including a talking yellow hen named Billina; Tiktok, a mechanical man; and the Hungry Tiger, whose conscience prevents him from being the fearsome man-eating tiger he sometimes wishes to be. The tale begins with Dorothy being tossed from a steamship during a storm and finding herself far away from home and Oz. She lands in the kingdom of Ev, where she becomes involved in a journey to the palace of the evil Nome King to rescue the Queen of Ev and her children. From dodging the unfriendly Wheelers to playing dangerous guessing games, Dorothy must overcome many obstacles to help the helpless royal family and reach a happy ending back in Oz. “Ozma of Oz” is a worthy addition to a collection of stories that have delighted children for over a century.

Ozma of Oz was the third title in the Oz series by L. Frank Baum. In this book Dorothy is shipwrecked and lands on the shores of a fairy country that adjoins Oz, the land of Ev. There she meets Tiktok, a wind up mechanical man, a talking chicken, Billina, and Ozma, the girl ruler of Oz who is leading a quest to rescue the royal family of Ev from their captivity by the Nome King. Dorothy is also reunited with her old friends, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion. Together the adventurers travel to the Nome King’s underground kingdom and have many exciting adventures before returning to Oz, and for Dorothy, eventual return to her family in the “civilized” world.

In this third part of the Oz series, Dorothy, the heroine of The Wizard of Oz, appears again. She finds her way to Oz after falling overboard during a storm at sea on her way to Australia with Uncle Henry. Among other marvelous creatures, she meets Tik-Tok, a machine man who can do only what he is wound up to do; his thought, speech and action mechanisms work separately, and each must be properly wound. There is also the Hungry Tiger, who is a "disgracefully bad tiger" because his conscience doesn't allow him to eat fat babies, much as he would like to do this. When Dorothy arrives at the Emerald City she meets Ozma, now Princess of Oz, for the first time, and the two girls become fast friends.

Youngsters will be swept up in the action as Dorothy and her entourage match wits with the Nome King and his devilish Nomes in a forbidding underground fortress.Ozma of Oz will delight children of all ages from the very first chapter in which Dorothy battles the sea, to its surprising conclusion, when she struggles to free the royal family and her friends.The original text is reprinted here in its entirety from the first 1907 edition, with John R.

Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 – May 6, 1919) is one of America’s most read authors, and he is widely considered one of the premier authors of children’s books. Baum wrote dozens of novels and short stories, as well as hundreds of poems, and he even foresaw technological innovations such as computers, televisions and mobile phones, all of which made their way into his writing. Baum, however, is still best known and best regarded for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and several other titles that took place in the fantasy world of Oz. Every American is familiar with Dorothy and Toto, and Oz has been adapted for movies, screenplays, and more ever since. Ozma of Oz was the third book in the series but the first Oz book where most of the book takes place outside of the Land of Oz. Only the final two chapters take place in Oz itself
