A continuation of the story of the Land of Oz, this one brings Dorothy back to the Emerald City by way of the Land of Ev. Shipwrecked after a storm at sea while accompanying her uncle to Australia, Dorothy encounters a beautiful but outrageously vain princess, meets a mechanical man, and squares off against the Nome King. All of this happens with the fun, wit, and charm of Baum's usual writing, and is a delight to the storytelling senses. If anything, this one ends far too soon. Good thing there are other books following.
