The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum — Chapter 1: Tip Manufactures a Pumpkinhead
In the Gillikin Country, north of the Land of Oz, a boy named Tip lives with the old woman Mombi, whose strange magic keeps the neighbors wary. Tip does as little work as he can get away with, and he has one plan in mind for his guardian.
Tip has a clever idea for a prank: a carved pumpkin face, a wooden body, and a set of borrowed clothes. He builds a tall figure from saplings and bark, and as he dresses it, he begins to see just how lifelike it can become.
