Dorothy falls overboard during a violent storm and, along with a yellow hen named Billina, drifts away in a large poultry crate. The novel begins as vacationing Dorothy Gale and her Uncle Henry board a steamship bound for Australia. Tip escapes with “Jack Pumpkinhead” and they travel to the Emerald City. Not at all frightened, Mombi shakes some “powder of life” onto the tall figure and then captures Tip and threatens to turn him into a marble statue come morning. Intending to frighten Mombi, who is returning from a trip, Tip creates a man out of wood, topped with a pumpkin for a head. The Marvelous Land of Oz begins not long after the final scenes in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and follows the adventures of Tip, a young boy, whose guardian is the witch, Mombi.
