MoreWell, my dears, here is what you have asked for: another Oz Book about Dorothy sstrange adventures. Toto is in this story, because you wanted him to be there, and many other characters which you will recognize are in the story, too. I ndeed, the wishes of my little correspondents have been considered as carefully as possible, and if the story is not exactly as you would have written it yourselves, you must remember that a story has to be a story before it can be written down, and the writer cannot change it much without spoiling it. In the preface to Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz I said I would like to write some stories that were not Oz stories, because I thought I had written about Oz long enough; but since that volume was published I have been fairly deluged with letters from children imploring me to write more about Dorothy, and more about Oz, and since I write only to please the children I shall try to respect their wishes. There are some new characters in this book that ought to win your love. Im very fond of the shaggy man myself, and I think you will like him, too.
