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!

There was more to his name than that, for old Mombi often declared that his whole name was Tippetarius; but no one was expected to say such a long word when "Tip" would do just as well. This boy remembered nothing of his parents, for he had been brought when quite young to be reared by the old woman known as Mombi, whose reputation, I am sorry to say, was none of the best. For the Gillikin people had reason to suspect her of indulging in magical arts, and therefore hesitated to associate with her.

Where is Ozma? The mind-blowing answer is finally revealed this issue! But not before a major magical showdown between Glinda and Mombi that features transformations, the pearl of truth, and a footrace between the Saw-Horse and a Griffin. Yet even when the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and their friends find Ozma, how are they going to get Jinjur off the throne of Oz?

L. Frank Baum's magical world of Oz comes to life in a way you never imagined! Follow the adventures of a young boy named Tip as he escapes the servitude of the mean old witch Mombi and runs away with his newly created magical companion, Jack Pumpkinhead. Along the way, they meet Sawhorse and follow the legendary Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City - now ruled by King Scarecrow! But when Jinjur overthrows King Scarecrow and Mombi returns, Tip and his friends must enlist the aid of Glinda, the Good Witch, to try to set things right in Oz!

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. "The Marvellous Land of Oz", the second story, brings the Scarecrow and the Tin Man into new adventures in the Land of Oz. 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. There is also flying furniture among the oddities.

*This Book is annotated (it contains a detailed biography of the author). *This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errors. The Marvelous Land of Oz is the second of the Oz books. It follows the adventures of the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and Tip.

Few fantasy lands have captured our hearts and imaginations as has the marvelous land of Oz.

Neill color plates, its colorful pictorial binding, and the many black-and-white illustrations that bring it to joyous life.First issued in 1904, L. Frank Baum's The Marvelous Land of Oz is the story of the wonderful adventures of the young boy named Tip as he travels throughout the many lands of Oz. Here he meets with our old friends the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman, as well as some new friends like Jack Pumpkinhead, the Wooden Sawhorse, the Highly Magnified Woggle-Bug, and the amazing Gump. How they thwart the wicked plans of the evil witch Mombi and overcome the rebellion of General Jinjur and her army of young women is a tale as exciting and endearing today as it was when first published over eighty years ago.
