The Emerald City of Oz (1910) is the sixth in the series of Oz books by L. Frank Baum. We learn that Uncle Henry is saddled with debt from repairs to the farmhouse from the original story, so Dorothy arranges for Princess Ozma to relocate them to Oz, where they are given lodgings, wardrobes and luxuries. They tour the realm with the Wizard, where we meet a menagerie of new characters – the Fuddles, the Rigamaroles, the Flutterbudgets, the living kitchen tools in Utensia, and the civilized rabbits of Bunbury. In the meantime, in a parallel plot, the Nome King Roquat is plotting an invasion of Oz, and enlists allies from the nations of the Whimsies, the Growleywogs, and the Phantasms. Ozma’s Magic Picture gives the people of Oz an advance warning, and Princess Ozma concocts a shrewd plan to defeat the Nome King and another to defend Oz from any future invasions. Originally intended to be the last in the series, descriptions of the somewhat Utopian social organization of Oz are more extensive than in the preceding stories. Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and Son of a Witch, has said that The Emerald City of Oz is “suffused with an elegiac quality”.
