The Magic of Oz

A band of companions from Oz—Dorothy, Trot, the Wizard, the Cowardly Lion, the Hungry Tiger, and Cap’n Bill—set out to locate an extraordinary birthday present for Princess Ozma. Their journey moves them across absurd landscapes and through encounters with inventions, transformed beings, and mischievous creatures—from Mount Munch and the Forest of Gugu to islands and enchanted gardens—while secret magic and a lost black bag complicate their progress. The narrative mixes comic episodes, puzzles of transformation, and narrow escapes, culminating in preparations for Ozma’s celebration and the resolution of the magical troubles encountered along the way.
