Fiction · 1910
The Emerald City of Oz
The Nome King, still furious about his earlier defeat by Dorothy and her friends, gathers an army of allied underground creatures to tunnel beneath the Emerald City's walls and take Oz by force — while Dorothy, Uncle Henry, and Aunt Em, having lost the family farm to the bank, get an invitation from Ozma to come live in Oz for good, and set off on a tour of the country's stranger corners just as the invasion is being planned.
Published in 1910, The Emerald City of Oz is the sixth of L. Frank Baum's Oz novels — and the book where Dorothy's family finally moves to Oz permanently, ending the back-and-forth between Kansas and fairyland that had carried the series until then.
Bibliomancer publishes the 1910 text exactly as L. Frank Baum wrote it.

About the author
1856–1919 · Victorian
L. Frank Baum (1856–1919) was born in Chittenango, New York, and tried many trades — actor, playwright, shopkeeper, newspaper editor in South Dakota, travelling salesman — before writing for children. Father Goose (1899) was a success; The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), illustrated by W. W. Denslow, was a greater one, and he wrote thirteen more Oz books. He spent his last years in Hollywood.
