Description: <p>Three years after the publication of <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/l-frank-baum/the-marvelous-land-of-oz"><i>The Marvelous Land of Oz</i></a> and encouraged by young fans’ letters, <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/l-frank-baum"><abbr>L.</abbr> Frank Baum</a> once more returned to write about lands full of magic and wonder.</p> <p>On a ship on her way to Australia for a holiday with Uncle Henry, Dorothy Gale gets tossed overboard during a storm. Washing ashore in a chicken-coop, Dorothy and her newfound friend, a hen she names Billina, embark on an exploration of the new land. After meeting old friends and making new ones, Dorothy joins the Princess Ozma of Oz on a mission to restore the royal family of Ev to their rightful place on the throne.</p> <p>This is the first book in which it becomes clear that Baum intended to make Oz a series, and, like its predecessors, <i>Ozma of Oz</i> has been adapted to theater and film.</p>
