The marvelous land of oz: a quick read edition
Quick Read, L. Frank Baum
Résumé
"The Marvelous Land of Oz" is the second book in L. Frank Baum's Oz series, published in 1904. The story follows an orphan boy named Tip, who lives under the cruel rule of the Wicked Witch Mombi. Tip creates a scarecrow-like figure named Jack Pumpkinhead, but Mombi sees through the trick and plans to turn Tip into a marble statue. To escape, Tip runs away with Jack and steals the Powder of Life, which brings a wooden Sawhorse to life. They encounter General Jinjur's all-girl Army of Revolt and join forces with the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman to retake the Emerald City. Along the way, they face challenges from Mombi and are aided by the Queen of the Field Mice. They eventually discover that Tip is actually the long-lost princess Ozma, who becomes the rightful ruler of Oz. The book explores themes of women's rights and was influenced by activist Matilda Joslyn Gage. "The Marvelous Land of Oz" has been adapted for the stage, film, television, and comics.
