The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum — Author's Note
Before the story begins, L. Frank Baum explains where this sequel came from. Years after The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, children kept writing to him, asking for more about the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman.
He recalls a young reader named Dorothy who traveled a long way to make her request in person. Baum describes how a promise made to her, and to a thousand letter-writing children, led him to finally keep his word.
