One little friend, who read this story before it was printed, said to me: "Billina is real Ozzy, Mr. Well, here is "more about Dorothy," and about our old friends the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, and about the Cowardly Lion, and Ozma, and all the rest of them and here, likewise, is a good deal about some new folks that are queer and unusual. And I wish I could, for I enjoy writing these stories just as much as the children say they enjoy reading them. And some of them suggest plots to me, saying: "Please have Dorothy go to the Land of Oz again" or, "Why don't you make Ozma and Dorothy meet, and have a good time together?" Indeed, could I do all that my little friends ask, I would be obliged to write dozens of books to satisfy their demands. ![]() ![]() Their sweet little letters plead to know "more about Dorothy" and they ask: "What became of the Cowardly Lion?" and "What did Ozma do afterward?"-meaning, of course, after she became the Ruler of Oz. My friends the children are responsible for this new "Oz Book," as they were for the last one, which was called The Land of Oz. ![]()
