In Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, Dorothy, along with her cousin, Zeb, her cat, Eureka, and a horse named Jim, returns to the mystical land of Oz after being caught in an earthquake while travelling to meet her Uncle Henry at Hugson’s Ranch. Reunited with the Wizard of Oz in the land of the Mangaboos, Dorothy and her friends set out for Oz, dodging invisible bears and escaping from Gargoyles and Dragonettes along the way. But when Eureka is believed to have eaten one of the Wizard’s nine little piglets, even Oz might not be safe for them!


The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its thirteen sequels have enchanted audiences since their publication in the early twentieth century. Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz is the fourth novel in the Oz series, and was adapted into an eight-issue comic miniseries for Marvel Comics.

L. Frank Baum

Lyman Frank Baum, born May 15 1856, was an American author of children's books, best known for writing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels, and a host of other works (55 novels in total, plus four "lost" novels, 83 short stories, over 200 poems, an unknown number of scripts, and many miscellaneous writings), and made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and screen.

His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).

On May 5, 1919, Baum suffered from a stroke. He died quietly the next day, nine days short of his 63rd birthday.His final Oz book, Glinda of Oz, was published on July 10, 1920, a year after his death. The Oz series was continued long after his death by other authors, notably Ruth Plumly Thompson, who wrote an additional nineteen Oz books.
