Frank Baum's immortal OZ series Young Tip runs away from his guardian, the witch Mombi, taking with him Jack Pumpkinhead and the wooden Saw-Horse, and flees to the Emerald City where he learns the incredible secret of his past.

All that is needed is an adventuresome spirit and a genuine affection for classic fantasy."-Terry Brooks, author of The Sword of Shannara "I was raised with the Oz books, and their enchantment, humor and excitement remain with me. They are still a joy and a treasure. I welcome this Oz revival."-Stepehen R. Donaldson, author of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant "The land of Oz has managed to fascinate each new generation. . . .
