Beschreibung
Dorothy and her new friends embark on a perilous journey to rescue the royal family of Ev from the clutches of the wicked Nome King.
Dorothy Gale and her uncle Henry are travelling to Australia by ship when a storm sweeps Dorothy overboard. She finds herself washed ashore in the Land of Ev, a nearby kingdom to the famous Oz.
The Land of Ev is controlled by the evil Nome King, who has transformed many of its inhabitants into ornaments. With the help of her old friends, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, as well as new companions such as Tik-Tok, a mechanical man, and Billina, a talking chicken, Dorothy sets out to rescue the people of Ev.
A wonderful new edition reissued in Puffin Classics with a gorgeous new cover by Steven Lenton.

If you've seen the 1985 movie Return to Oz you will no doubt recognise elements of this book. While the Gump and Pumpkin Head were pulled from The Marvelous Land of Oz (the previous Oz book.) Pretty much the rest of the movie was taken from this book. Ozma of Oz configure the perfectly peculiar style from the first two. As I suspected would be the case, also starts to tie loose ends together from the previous works so it definitely starts feeling like the series is one cohesive whole. Because so much of it was familiar from the movie it's hard for me to evaluate the book on its own merits. This is diffent from other adaptations because it wasn't a diet adaptation, so it's impossible to say "Movie did X better while book did Y better." and unlike WWoO the story isn't an institution. Ultimately it was an enjoyable entry.
