Synopsis:
In
this first sequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the adventures
of a young boy named Tip are followed as he escapes the grasp
of an old sorceress named Mombi and travels to the Emerald
City to start a new life. In the process he creates two new
companions, Jack Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse. They are brought
to life using a magical powder that Mombi obtains from a reclusive
magician. Tip gets mixed up in a rebellion led by a young
woman, Jinjur, who overthrows the Scarecrow as the Ruler of
Oz.
Joining
with the Tin Woodman, Tip and his friends seek to regain control
of the Emerald City, but are not successful and must flee
for their lives in a most unusual flying creature created
from bits and pieces found in the palace. Eventually they
make their way to enlist the support of Glinda the Good. Glinda
succeeds in capturing Mombi and erasing her magical powers.
However, in quashing the rebellion she restores the throne
not to the Scarecrow, but to the rightful heir, a young girl
named Ozma. (You will have to read the story to find out who
Ozma is and how she suddenly emerges on the Ozian scene. It's
quite a morphalous tale.)
Note:
The full title was The Marvelous Land of Oz: Being an Account
of the Further Adventures of the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman.
