The Marvelous Land of Oz Pl.02

1904

Hidden behind his back, young Tip clutches an axe as he gazes up at his spooky creation: a lanky wooden man with a grinning jack-o'-lantern for a head. This charming scene introduces Jack Pumpkinhead from L. Frank Baum's 1904 sequel, The Marvelous Land of Oz. Tip originally built the figure just to scare his guardian, Mombi, but magic powder soon brings the pumpkin-headed fellow to life. Illustrator John Rea Neill captures a perfect mix of whimsy and slight eeriness here, setting the stage for a wild adventure where a boy and his wooden friend escape into the Land of Oz.
