At first I considered these little letters, frank and earnest though they were, in the light of pretty compliments; but the letters continued to come during succeeding months, and even years. Finally I promised one little girl, who made a long journey to see me and prefer her request,—and she is a "Dorothy," by the way—that when a thousand little girls had written me a thousand little letters asking for the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman I would write the book, Either little Dorothy was a fairy in disguise, and waved her magic wand, or the success of the stage production of "The Wizard of OZ" made new friends for the story, For the thousand letters reached their destination long since—and many more followed them. And now, although pleading guilty to long delay, I have kept my promise in this book. Here are some of Amazon’s Excellent Reviews - "This book is a really interesting sequel to the Wizard of Oz. I really enjoyed reading it. It is definitely for children of all ages“ Take advantage of our excellent books Get your kindle copy today!

Following Tip's adventure, we meet charming new characters, such as Jack the Pumpkinhead, the Wooden Sawhorse, and the Gump, as well as some familiar old ones, like the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman. After more than a hundred years since its first publication, The Marvelous Land of Oz continues to charm its readers on an adventure of discovery to the Emerald City. This edition will feature beautifully repainted Neill artwork, original Stromberg imagery, and an introduction by one of the screenwriters of Oz the Great and Powerful, Mitchell Kapner.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has been translated into more than forty languages, and of course, served as the basis for one of history's most popular films, The Wizard of Oz, first released in 1939. The Marvelous Land of Oz is the first sequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, originally published in 1904. Baum writes that he wrote the sequel in response to thousands of letters from schoolchildren and to one little girl who journeyed all the way to Baum's home to ask that he write more stories about the Tin Woodsman and the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion. The Marvelous Land of Oz introduces new characters like Jack Pumpkinhead and the Gump, as well as the original favorites.

L. Frank Baum's magical world of Oz comes to life in a way you never imagined!

Lyman Frank Baum penned fourteen novels in his famous Oz chronology. The second, The Marvelous Land of Oz, was published in 1904 and introduced a legion of fans to Tip, as well as to Jack Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse, as they encountered General Jinjur’s all-girl Army of Revolt; the Highly Magnified and Thoroughly Educated Woggle-bug also made his first appearance. This volume of Original Oz Stories is formatted not only for ease of reading, but to emulate the textual structure of that original publication.

Some people do not know that "The Wizard of Oz" was actually the first of a 13-story series.

In this story, which is as equally entertaining as "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", the Tin Man and Scarecrow are persuaded to help out a young boy who finds himself in difficulty.
