In the delicious Land of Mo, where it rains lemonade and the ground is made of candy, the Magical Monarch and his people tumble through a garland of merry, marvelous adventures.

L. Frank Baum's 1900 book, from the year of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is a whimsical fantasy for children. Playful, inventive, delightful. Read it for pure Baum nonsense-wonder, a sweet, silly, gloriously imaginative fairyland of impossible happenings, showcasing the joyful invention that would make its author the great American fabulist.
