The Marvelous L
...
and of Oz by American author L. Frank Baum is a thrilling adventure first published in 1904 in the United States.
A celebrated children’s classic filled with delightful escapades.
Excerpt: ‘Mombi’s curious magic often frightened her neighbors, and they treated her shyly, yet respectfully, because of her weird powers. But Tip frankly hated her, and took no pains to hide his feelings. Indeed, he sometimes showed less respect for the old woman than he should have done, considering she was his guardian.
There were pumpkins in Mombi’s corn-fields, lying golden red among the rows of green stalks; and these had been planted and carefully tended that the four-horned cow might eat of them in the winter time. But one day, after the corn had all been cut and stacked, and Tip was carrying the pumpkins to the stable, he took a notion to make a “Jack Lantern” and try to give the old woman a fright with it.’
Synopsis The Marvelous Land of Oz (Book 2 in the OZ series) tells the fantastic tale of Tip, a young boy, as he journeys around the various lands of Oz. Along the way he meets new friends like Jack Pumpkinhead, the Wooden Sawhorse, the Highly Magnified Woggle-Bug, and the magnificent Gump, he also runs into our old friends the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman. A narrative that is just as thrilling and appealing today as it was when it was originally written more than a hundred years ago.
