Return to Oz with Tip and his strange new friends as they embark on a magical adventure to find old friends, defeat General Jinjur and reclaim the Emerald Kingdom.

Tip is sick of being bossed around by his guardian, Mombi. So, when she threatens to turn him to stone for using magic to bring Jack Pumpkinhead to life as a prank, he and Jack run away to the Emerald City. But by the time they arrive, the city has been taken over by General Jinjur and her all-girl Army of Revolution!

So begins a remarkable adventure which sees old friends, like the Tin Woodman and Glinda the Good, and new, like the Gump, a flying creature built of sofas and palm leaves, work together to set the Land of Oz to rights.

A gorgeous new edition of this fantastic sequel to the much-loved classic, The Wizard of Oz.

L. Frank Baum was born in New York in 1856. The Wizard of Oz, published in 1900, was based on a story he used to tell his own children. It became an international bestseller and was subsequently adapted into a stage play (1902) and a film starring Judy Garland (1939). Baum wrote thirteen further Oz books, alongside numerous other novels, short stories, scripts and poems. After his death in 1919, his publishers carried on producing Oz stories and didn’t stop until 1963.
