I read a great many of the Oz books when I was a child, and I simply ADORED them. Many I read more than once, although now, after so much time has elapsed, I don't have a lot of memories about specific happenings in each of the books. (Although character names are still familiar). I look foward to reading these sometime soon with my son; then I can come back and give more detailed reviews. (

Fun book!
It seeks to tie together a lot of old plotlines that have been answered, such as "Whatever happened to the Tin Woodman's old fiance before he became tin, when he was merely Nick Chopper?" It is also revealed that the Witch of the East - that very witch Dorothy's house squished - performed the transformation, a fact that was never actually stated in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

There are little inconsistancies with the other books; Baum would never have passed a continuity editor's check. In Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz the Wizard claims that he received his nine tiny piglets in a trade with a sailor, and in this volume the travelers meet the parents of the piglets, who claim the Wizard came to them directly and promised to give the piglets a fine education. The variences are little things, but over time they add up. (

Join the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow as they journey across the fantastic magical Land of Oz in search of the Tin Woodman's long-lost sweetheart. In a series of adventures sure to thrill Oz fans both old and new, these beloved friends face such challenges as a selfish giantess and a group of quarrelsome dragons--all to fulfill a promise made long ago to a beautiful Munchkin girl.

The Tin Woodman sits on the glittering tin throne of his splendid tin castle, ruling the Winkle Country of the Land of Oz with the help of his best friend, the Scarecrow. All is peaceful and well, but when a young wanderer named Woot asks the Tin Woodman how he came to be made of tin, the emperor recalls his days as a flesh-and-blood woodchopper and his love for Nimmie Amee, a Munchkin girl so fair that the sunsets blushed when they fell upon her.

The three quickly decide to set out on a daring quest to reunite the Tin Woodman with his lost love and ask Nimmie Amee to be Empress of the Winkie Country. During their travels, they battle dragons and loons, a mighty sorceress, and an all-too-hungry beast called the Hippo-gy-raf. Luckily, they are joined in their search by their old friend Polychrome, the Rainbow's Daughter, and are aided by Dorothy and Princess Ozma--the powerful fairy ruler of the Land of Oz. But just when they think their troubles are over and their quest is complete, they discover a surprise that leaves all of them truly astounded!

This deluxe edition of the rare first edition features all twelve of Oz artist John R. Neill's beautiful color plates, along with his nearly one hundred black-and-white drawings, making this a book sure to be treasured for years to come.
