Publisher's Synopsis
Following the success of the "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", author L Frank Baum produced a sequel, "The Land of Oz", in which he introduced a whole new set of characters. Here we meet a young boy named Tip from the country of the Gillikins (slightly north of the Land of Oz), who creates a friend named Jack Pumpkinhead with the aid of the marvellous powder of life; General Jinjur, who, commanding an army of girls, lays siege to the Emerald City; and the mysterious Queen Ozma, who is crowned rightful ruler of Oz. In addition to Baum's delightful story, "The Land of Oz" contains essays by major Oz experts -- including award-winning author Harlan Ellison -- certain to give the reader even greater insight to the world and characters created by one of Americas most influential childrens book writers. This is the second in a series of definitive new and collectable Oz editions prepared in conjunction with the Baum Family Trust. Illustrated and fully annotated with essays by major Oz experts.
