Overview

The Emerald City of Oz by L. Frank Baum brings Dorothy and her family to live permanently in Oz while a dangerous army gathers in secret against the kingdom. The story alternates between tours of Oz's unusual communities and the Nome King's plot to invade the Emerald City. Baum combines domestic wish fulfillment with mounting suspense, using the contrast between Oz's playful abundance and outside greed to shape one of the series' most expansive adventures.
