The Emerald Metropolis Of Oz (1910) is ebook #6 of the traditional youngsters’s assortment.
On this story Dorothy is troubled by issues on the farm in Kansas; Uncle Henry and Aunt Em could also be about to lose the farm. So with Ozma’s assist they’re supplied a everlasting dwelling in Oz. Aunt Em, particularly, finds it arduous to simply accept all that they see, so Dorothy takes them on a tour of the lands.
In the meantime, the king of the Nomes is gathering a military of vicious fighters and secretly tunnelling in direction of the Emerald Metropolis.
This story had plenty of spectacular character names and comical dialogue which made me chuckle as an grownup reader.
