Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz

Published in 1908, 'Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz' is the fourth book in L. Frank Baum's Oz series. This installment features Dorothy, her kitten Eureka, a cab horse named Jim, and ranch hand Zeb as they journey through a rift created by an earthquake. They encounter various magical creatures and the 'humbug' wizard while trying to return to the surface. Notable for its darker themes and Baum's wit, the story explores the characters' growth and experiences in the enchanting land of Oz.
