The Tin Woodman of Oz

by L. Frank Baum, George Newbern (Read by)

Overview

In L. Frank Baum’s “The Tin Woodsman of Oz”, (1918) the Tin Woodsman and the Scarecrow are visited by a young boy named Woot who learns that the Tin Woodsman was once a man who loved a young girl of Oz. Inspired, the three of them set off to find the girl. This novel, the 12th in the Oz series, provides a backstory for Oz and reversed a trend of declining sales in the Oz Books, perhaps as a result of a desire for nostalgia amid the carnage of World War I.
