Overview

Return to a world of strange creatures, exciting adventures, and fast-paced fun with Book 2 of L. Frank Baum's beloved Oz series. After the orphan boy Tip escapes from the evil witch Mombi with the help of Jack Pumpkinhead (yes, his head is a pumpkin, and yes, magic is involved), they set out for the Emerald City. But they find the City in turmoil as the fierce General Jinjur and her all-female Army of Revolt try to overthrow the Scarecrow's male rule. Will Tip ever find his true home? Can peace and harmony return to Oz? Can a flying machine made out of a sofa, two palm fronds, and a stuffed moose head be fast enough to catch a witch? Find out in an adventure that's even funnier, wilder, and stranger than The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Toni Maddocks' spirited reading of this unabridged classic will send a new generation of listeners on a thrilling journey to a magical land.

Author Information

"In 1989, Jim Weiss set out on a mission: to record the greatest stories he knew from world literature and history, and inspire families -- especially young listeners -- with a passionate love of the original classics. In the three decades since then, Jim's narration voice and seemingly numberless character voices have formed foundational entertainment and education for millions of listeners around the world.Winning hundreds of awards, Jim's recordings range on the literary side from fairy tales through stories from Shakespeare, Dickens and Conan Doyle, while his history recordings bring to vivid life major historical events and personalities from the ancient world through the twentieth century.The inspiration for all this began early, with parents and grandparents who told stories and read aloud to him, skills which Jim joyously acquired, and which led him to a degree in Communications and Speech from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Later, his wife, Randy, earned her own national awards as a teacher and counselor, and their shared passion for learning led to forming their company in 1989, long before the explosion of spoken word recordings made this a ""sensible"" decision. The recordings began winning listeners and national awards from the first. A few years ago, the Weiss's licensed their recordings and business operations to Well-Trained Mind Press, which has successfully introduced Jim's work into still more markets, while Jim continues to write, record, teach and perform."
