Return to the magical land of Oz in the second book in the beloved Oz series, newly re-published in Puffin Classics

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 (Author) Frank L. Baum (1856-1919) was born in New York. He enjoyed making up stories, particularly for his own children. The Wizard of Oz, based on their favourite bedtime story about a land of Oz, was published in 1900 and it immediately became a huge international success. He wrote several sequels and numerous other kinds of books under a pseudonym. David McKee (Illustrator) David McKee was born and brought up in South Devon, where he went from grammar school to Plymouth Art College. Whilst still at college he started selling one-off cartoons to newspapers and on graduation, he began to contribute to such publications as Punch, Times Education Supplement and the Reader's Digest. His first book, Two Can Toucan was published in 1964 and since then he has written and illustrated numerous children's books.
