A California earthquake sends Dorothy Gale and her new friends--Zeb the farm boy, Jim the cab-horse, and Eureka the mischievous kitten--tumbling through a crack in the ground. Deep beneath the earth, Dorothy is reunited with her old friend the Wizard of Oz and his troupe of nine tiny piglets.Together, Dorothy, the Wizard, and their friends travel through many fantastic lands, where they encounter the Mangaboos, people growing like vegetables in the ground; cross the Valley of Voe, where dama-fruit has turned everyone invisible; and are captured by mysterious flying Gargoyles. At last, the intrepid travelers reach Oz, where they have many unforgettable encounters with such favorites as the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger, Princess Ozma and the wooden Sawhorse.

In the story, Dorothy pays a visit to her Uncle Henry in his California farmstead. She, her chums, her cousins and some pets are going in a cart when all of a sudden, the world breaks wide open and the whole place tumbles into the rift. Afterwards, a lot of mishaps ensues, with the kids having odd grapples in the Land of the Mangaboos which is populated by the Vegetable Folks. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz unexpectedly composes his presence and together, all of them journeyed into more spectacular locations. Princess Ozma saves Dorothy and her chums as they encounter so many mischances. As of the moment, the Oz craze has effected in amusement parks, theater and movies, concerts, parodies, goods for sale, renditions, interpretations into dialects all over the world, television and cartoon shows. Lyman himself established the Oz Film Company and had ideas to institute an Oz inspired adventure park during his time. Lyman Frank Baum often called as L. Frank Baum, was a United States writer mostly known for his stories for children, in particular The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its series. He made an entirety of 14 novels in the Oz sequels, and an additional of 41 other novels, 83 short fiction, more than 200 verses, and not less than 42 screenplays. He created innumerable efforts to take along his pieces to the theater and the budding medium of motion picture; the 1939 version of the first Oz story would become a milestone of 20th century film. His pieces awaited such century-after mundane as television, amplified verity, laptop computers in The Master Key, wireless telephones in Tik-Tok of Oz, females in hazardous and oppressive jobs in Mary Louise in the Country, and the everywhereness of publicizing on apparels in Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work.
