An ibooks exclusive! The only authorised editions of the Oz series, produced with the full cooperation of the L.Frank Baum Family Trust. Following the success of 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 Pumkinhead 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 will contain essays by major Oz experts, certain to give the reader even greater insight to the world and characters created by one of America's most influential children's book writers.
