In The Emerald City of Oz, published in 1910, Dorothy Gale and her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em move to Oz permanently. John R. Neill provided the illustrations for the sixth Oz book, which Baum intended to be his last. The book begins with Uncle Henry deep in debt. Both uncle and aunt doubt Dorothy’s tales of her adventures, but Dorothy enlightens them by asking Ozma to transport them to the Emerald City using the magic belt she had captured from the Nome King. For the first time, Baum employs double plots. While Dorothy and her aunt and uncle tour the Quadling Country, the Nome King, Roquat, readies a massive army along with allied forces for invading the Land of Oz. Dorothy and her companions meet a variety of fascinating creatures, including living cutout paper dolls, talkative Rigmaroles, living kitchen utensils in Utensia, civilized rabbits of Bunnybury and more. Meanwhile, the Nome King plots revenge with his allies, the horrifying Whimsies and Growleywogs and the notoriously evil, Phanfasms.

The Nome King is quite angry: he knows Dorothy has his magical belt, which holds half of his power, and he'll do anything to get it back. He plans his attack through an underground tunnel to where the belt rests at Ozma's palace in the Emerald City in the Land of Oz. Meanwhile, Aunt Em and Uncle Henry can no longer afford to keep their farm. Dorothy invites them to live in Ozma's palace, where they can finally live a life without worry--unless the Nome King as his army of 50,000 have anything to do with it.

The Emerald City of Oz is the sixth of L. Frank Baum's fourteen Land of Oz books. It was also adapted into a Canadian animated film in 1987. Originally published on July 20, 1910, it is the story of Dorothy Gale and her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em coming to live in Oz permanently. While they are toured through the Quadling Country, the Nome King is assembling allies for an invasion of Oz. This is the first time in the Oz series that Baum made use of double plots for one of the books. Baum had intended to cease writing Oz stories with this book, but financial pressures prompted him to write and publish The Patchwork Girl of Oz, with seven other Oz books to follow.The book was dedicated to "Her Royal Highness Cynthia II of Syracuse" actually the daughter (born in the previous year, 1909) of the author's younger brother, Henry Clay "Harry" Baum.At the beginning of this story, it is made quite clear that Dorothy Gale (the primary protagonist of many of the previous Oz books), is in the habit of freely speaking of her many adventures in the Land of Oz to her only living relatives, her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. Neither of them believes a word of her stories, but consider her a dreamer, as her dead mother had been. She is undeterred (unlike her alter ego in the film Return to Oz who is much perturbed by her guardians' doubts.) Later, it is revealed that the destruction of their farmhouse by the tornado back in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has left Uncle Henry in terrible debt. In order to pay it, he has taken out a mortgage on his farm. If he cannot repay his creditors, they will seize the farm, thus leaving Henry and his family homeless. He is not too afraid for himself, but both he and his wife, Aunt Em, fear very much for their niece's future. Upon learning this, Dorothy quickly arranges with Princess Ozma to let her bring her guardians to Oz where they will be very happier and forever safe. Using the Magic Belt (a tool captured from the jealous Nome King Roquat), Ozma transports them to her throne room. They are given rooms to live in and luxuries to enjoy, including a vast and complex wardrobe. They meet with many of Dorothy's animal friends, including the Cowardly Lion and Billina the Yellow Hen. In the underground Nome Kingdom, the Nome King, Roquat, is plotting to conquer the Land of Oz and recover his magic belt, which Dorothy took from him in Ozma of Oz. After ordering the expulsion of his General (who will not agree to such an attack) and the death of his Colonel (who also refuses), King Roquat holds counsel with a veteran soldier called Guph. Guph believes that against the many magicians of Oz (the reputation of which has grown in the telling), the Nome Army has no chance alone. He therefore sets out personally to recruit allies. John Rea Neill (November 12, 1877 - September 19, 1943) was a magazine and children's book illustrator primarily known for illustrating more than forty stories set in the Land of Oz, including L. Frank Baum's, Ruth Plumly Thompson's, and three of his own.His pen-and-ink drawings have become identified almost exclusively with the Oz series. He did a great deal of magazine and newspaper illustration work which is not as well known today.Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, John R. Neill did his first illustration work for the Philadelphia's Central High School newspaper in 1894-95. Neill dropped out of Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts after one semester because he said, "they have nothing to teach me".

The Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum's most well-known children's book, has become somewhat of a legend throughout the past century, with mentions, spin-offs and entire productions dedicated to the story of Dorothy as she strives to find her way home from the Land of Oz. The Emerald City of Oz depicts her next great adventure, reacquainting us with Dorothy, her Auntie Em and Uncle Henry, as well as Emerald City in all of its splendor, this time threatened by a new villain that we are introduced to right at the beginning of the book. Baum's Oz books have enjoyed huge success throughout the years, and this one certainly provides us with a good example as to why. The Emerald City of Oz is filled with adventure, suspenseful plot twists and lots of good quality humor that we've come to expect from the author, who is effortlessly able to immerse our minds into an entire enchanting universe filled with magic and wonder. The book also shows how Dorothy takes her aunt and uncle to Oz, and presents them with some of the stranger areas, including towns such as Utensia, Fuddles and Cuttenclips. Overall, through these added adventures, a dual narrative, new political struggles and wittier lines that older children are likely to enjoy as well, there is a definite sensation of growth in Baum's overall writing style, when we compare Emerald City of Oz to the other Oz books. If your children are already acquainted with the Oz saga, they will be completely enchanted by this amazing sequel, and Baum's remarkable ability to keep their attention will likely have them begging to know what the next chapters hold. Even adults who have enjoyed Baum's works in the past may be attracted to this more colorful, as well as more mature children's tale which will delightfully reacquaint them with their childhood heroes.

Dorothy, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry continue their tour of the Land of Oz. Dorothy is separated from the bunch after she is taken prisoner by the Spoon Brigade of the Kingdom of Utensia. Meanwhile, Guph visits the Phanfasms to enlist their help as allies. But again, he may be adding more trouble than assistance. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.
