Frank Baum's Oz series. It was the first in which Baum was clearly intending a series of Oz books.It is the first Oz book where the majority of the action takes place outside of the Land of Oz. Only the final two chapters take place in Oz itself.[2] This reflects a subtle change in theme: in the first book, Oz is the dangerous land through which Dorothy must win her way back to Kansas; in the third, Oz is the end and aim of the book. Dorothy's desire to return home is not as desperate as in the first book, and it is her uncle's need for her rather than hers for him that makes her return.It was illustrated throughout in color by artist John R. Neill.The book bore the following dedication: "To all the boys and girls who read my stories – and especially to the Dorothys – this book is lovingly dedicated."

Ozma of Oz (1907) was the third in the Oz series of books by L. Frank Baum and the first that is set largely outside the Land of Oz. Dorothy and her Uncle Henry are en route to Australia when a violent storm washes Dorothy overboard in a crate with Billina, a yellow hen. When they wash ashore, she senses they are in some sort of “fairy country”, because Billina can talk and they pick their lunch from a “lunch pail tree”. They meet the raucous “Wheelers”, creatures with wheels in place of hands and feet, and run off to find a key beside a door carved into the side of a rocky mountain. Venturing inside, they meet Tik-Tok, a mechanical man with three clockwork motors for thought, motion, and speech. They activate him with the key and learn they are in the Land of Ev, controlled by the Nome King, who has captured the royal family and turned them into ornaments displayed throughout his palace. Tik-Tok escorts them to the home of Princess Langwidere. Ozma appears on a magic carpet, courtesy of Glinda, with her chums the Tin Woodsman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion, and they set off to the underground kingdom of the Nomes. They undergo a challenge from the Nome King and are on the brink of disaster when Billina saves the day, rescuing her companions and the royal family. They return to a victory celebration in the Emerald City.

Within this third work of Baum's Land of Oz series, Dorothy's story is continued with her beloved companions and given further life with inventive new characters, including a talking hen named Billina and the Hungry Tiger. After being tossed from a steamship during a storm, Dorothy finds herself in the kingdom of Ev, where she becomes involved in a journey to the palace of the evil Nome King to rescue the Queen of Ev and her children. From dodging Wheelers to dangerous guessing games, Dorothy must overcome many obstacles to help the helpless and reach a happy ending in Oz.

Did you know that Dorothy had more than one adventure in Oz? Thrown overboard an ocean liner in a storm, Dorothy finds herself floating away in a coop with Billina, a talking chicken. They land in the Land of Ev, which just happens to be around the corner from Dorothy's old haunt, the Land of Oz. Ev, Dorothy discovers, is just as strange as Oz. She and Billina befriend Tik-Tok, a clockwork man in need of winding, and narrowly escape the Wheelers, wild animals with wheels for legs. Rescued from an evil multi-headed princess by Ozma, the ruler of Oz, Dorothy and her new friends decide to accompany Ozma on her mission - to free the real rulers of Ev from the clutches of the dastardly Nome King. Ozma of Oz will delight readers with the same sense of whimsy and excitement which characterized The Wizard of Oz.
