The Tin Woodman of Oz / A Faithful Story of the Astonishing Adventure Undertaken / by the Tin Woodman, assisted by Woot the Wanderer, the / Scarecrow of Oz, and Polychrome, the Rainbow's Daughter

A tin-bodied ruler embarks on a quest, prompted by a young wanderer, to recover the woman he once loved, and their journey becomes a chain of whimsical and perilous episodes across the magical realm. Joined by a talking straw companion and a rainbow-born sprite, they traverse peculiar towns, enchanted forests, and invisible places, encountering giants, quarrelsome dragons, curious craftspeople, and peculiar spells. The adventures blend inventive mechanical repairs and playful sorcery, exploring themes of identity, longing, friendship, and the work of restoration before concluding with reunion and settled order.
