Did you know that Dorothy had more than one adventure in Oz? Thrown overboard an ocean liner in a storm, Dorothy finds herself floating away in a coop with Billina, a talking chicken. They land in the Land of Ev, which just happens to be around the corner from Dorothy's old haunt, The Land of Oz. Ev, Dorothy discovers, Is just as strange as Oz. She and Billina befriend Tik-Tok, a clockwork man in need of winding, and narrowly escape the Wheelers, wild animals with wheels for legs. Rescued from an evil multi-headed princess by Ozma, The ruler of Oz, Dorothy and her new friends decide to accompany Ozma on her mission -- to free the real rulers of Ev from the clutches of the dastardly Nome King. Ozma of Oz will delight readers with the same sense of whimsy and excitement which characterized the Wizard of Oz. Excerpted from Ozma of Oz by L.
