The Marvelous Land of Oz
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.)
