An earthquake swallows Dorothy, her kitten, a cab-horse, and a boy into a glass city deep underground, and the Wizard himself drops in to join the escape upward.

L. Frank Baum's 1908 fourth Oz book plunges its heroine into a subterranean odyssey of vegetable people, invisible bears, and wooden gargoyles. Inventive, warm, wonder-filled children's fantasy. Read it for a delightful Oz adventure that reunites Dorothy with the Wizard on a journey back up to the sun.
