It reunites Dorothy Gale with the Wizard from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz . Written shortly after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and around the same time Baum relocated to California, the book begins with an earthquake in California. Dorothy and others are swallowed up by cracks in the earth and fall into a deep cavern, where the adventures begin. ‘When Dorothy recovered her senses they were still falling, but not so fast. The top of the buggy caught the air like a parachute or an umbrella filled with wind, and held them back so that they floated downward with a gentle motion that was not so very disagreeable to bear. The worst thing was their terror of reaching the bottom of this great crack in the earth, and the natural fear that sudden death was about to overtake them at any moment.’ A Stunning Reprint "A stunning reprint" At Ginger Classics, we take every step possible to ensure the original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
