In this wonderful tale, L. Frank Baum once again demonstrates his ability to delight and enchant readers of all ages. Follow the adventures of a new group of wonderful characters as they explore the beautiful Land of Oz, and discover that you learn more by traveling than by staying home.
Forced to leave the dense forest, Uncle Nunki and Ojo the Unlucky One are taken in by the Crooked Wizard, who introduces them to his latest creation—a living girl named Patchwork, made from a patchwork quilt and stuffed with cotton wool. But when an accident turns Uncle Nunki's beloved figure into an immobile statue, Ojo must save him. In search of the magical ingredients that will bring Uncle Nunki back to life, Ojo is joined by Patchwork and the smug Glass Cat, who boasts of her hard ruby heart; resourceful Raggedy; and the sweet, cube-headed Woozie, whose tail hairs are just one of the things Ojo needs to save Uncle Nunki.
Set off for the Emerald City, home of the wise and powerful Ozma, they meet Dorothy, a kind and sensible girl from Kansas; the gallant Scarecrow; and, of course, Toto. But no one proves more reliable than the energetic Patchwork, who, although intended as a servant, is determined to see the world for herself.
The Patchwork Girl of Oz has captivated readers for over eighty years. Now, in this stunning new edition, featuring full-color illustrations by John R. Neill, a new generation can discover the beauty and wonder of Oz that has made this classic series a long-time favorite.
