The Marvelous Land of Oz	comment	The Marvelous Land of Oz (subsequently republished as The Land of Oz) is the second of L. Frank Baum's Oz books. It was first published in 1904 to capitalize on the popularity of the theater adaptation of the first book, before the publisher convinced Baum to write at least four more Oz books.Dorothy, the protagonist of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is never seen (although we get a recap of her adventures). Instead, the protagonist is a native of Oz, an orphan called Tippetarius (or "Tip" for short). After escaping his abusive caretaker, the old witch Mombi, Tip sets out to seek his fortune along with his two companions: Jack Pumpkinhead and the Saw-Horse, both of which he created and brought to life with Mombi's "Powder of Life".Much like Dorothy before him, Tip also has a "Wicked Witch" to deal with: General Jinjur, the commander of the all-female Army of Revolt, who means to ransack the Emerald City and take over Oz on the grounds that (what with the Wizard and the many kings before him) it's about time a woman had a turn on the throne.Tip also becomes involved in the search for Princess Ozma, the long-lost daughter of the last king of Oz, who disappeared as an infant shortly after the Wizard arrived in Oz. Tip's search, like Dorothy's, ends with the discovery that what he was looking for was under his nose (perhaps more accurately, behind his nose) the whole time, had he only known it. Princess Ozma is acclaimed the ruler of Oz, and goes on to become a major character in the rest of the series.Adapted to the screen as a kiddie matinee cheapie by shlockmeister Barry Mahon as The Wonderful Land Of Oz. Parts of this book (and the next, Ozma of Oz) were incorporated into the film Return to Oz. It was also adapted as the second story arc in the anime The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_603f1a80	type	Pragmatic Adaptation
The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_603f1a80	comment	Pragmatic Adaptation: Inverted; it's been suggested that, following the great success of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz's stage adaptation, Baum wrote this sequel with one eye on what would look good on stage. The element that's most often singled out is the Army of Revolt, composed of good-looking women whose uniforms are described in detail. Another element that may have been affected by the stage prospects is Tip turning out to really be female, since in a stage production a young boy would be played by a woman anyway. The emphasis on the Tin Man and the Scarecrow at the expense of the Lion and Dorothy reflects which characters had been most successful on stage. (In the event, the stage adaptation that followed a year later was a flop, at least partly because many of the people and elements that had made the first show such a success were unavailable because the show was still running.)

Note this in contrast to the matriarchal army of the South, composed entirely of women, who came to overthrow her rule of the Emerald City. An army relying on your enemies not hitting girls had some serious drawbacks in retrospect. It is interesting to note that Baum's wife was herself the daughter of a prominent early feminist, Matilda Gage. Jinjur is an obvious poke at the sort of pie in the sky "suffragette" who thought feminism meant "women in charge" while preserving the Double Standard where it suited them.

The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_cb0743c0	comment	Lame Pun Reaction: H.M. Wogglebug T.E.'s puns are sometimes quite bad. He jokes about the Sawhorse, noting that if he rode him, it would be a "horse-and-buggie". Jack Pumpkinhead covers up his permanently-smiling mouth, and the Tin Woodsman threatens the Wogglebug with his axe. While flying in the Gump, the Wogglebug comments that if Jack Pumpkinhead's head fell off, it would no longer be a pumpkin, but a squash. Tip tells him off for his insensitive puns.

The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_d9d2c40b	type	Amazon Brigade
The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_d9d2c40b	comment	Amazon Brigade: Both Jinjur's Army of Revolt and the army Glinda makes. Played with in that the former just thought they were; the Emerald City's army wouldn't hit a girl and was less than a match for Dorothy by herself anyway. Even so, the all-female armies in this book are the most effective armies in Baum's Oz books — all the rest are either evil and menacing but are foiled before they do much harm, e.g. the Nome King's army; or are too small to be threatening (these will include exactly one private soldier, but may have a large number of officers who do not fight), e.g. the Army of Oz. Jinjur's and Glinda's armies are the only ones that accomplish the missions they set out to accomplish.

The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_e125c425	type	Completely Unnecessary Translator
The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_e125c425	comment	Completely Unnecessary Translator: Played for laughs when Jack Pumpkinhead arrives in the Emerald City. Jack, a Gillikin, claims he can't understand the Scarecrow, a Munchkin, so the Scarecrow calls in Jellia Jamb to translate. However, there's only one language in Oz, and neither of them realize they just casually discussed their inability to understand each other (Jack is The Ditz). Jellia catches on and gleefully misinterprets them until it finally hits both that they don't need translation.

Wogglebug, T.E. — "T.E.", for "Thoroughly Educated", is a self-assigned distinction, and in fact the sum total of his education was spending three years in a one-room schoolhouse as a non-Magnified bug surreptitiously listening to Professor Nowitall's lectures.

The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_f18ac036	comment	Velvet Revolution: General Jinjur's Army of Revolt overtake the Emerald City and force the Scarecrow to abdicate the throne using nothing but sewing needles and relying on the fact that Oz's (single person) army Wouldn't Hit a Girl. A few people get poked with needles but that is the extent of the violence. Later in the story, the armies of Glinda the Good surround the city in a standoff, but Jinjur surrenders without violence, allowing the rightful Princess Ozma to take the throne.
