The Land of Oz L. Frank Baum (1904, commonly reprinted through 1926)

This second book in the Oz series (titled The Marvelous Land of Oz in its 1904 first edition) follows Tip, a boy who escapes his wicked guardian Mombi with the help of a living wooden man named Jack Pumpkinhead. Their journey to the Emerald City sparks a revolution—led by General Jinjur’s all-girl army—that topples the Scarecrow’s rule and reveals shocking secrets about Tip’s true identity (including one of literature’s first transgender-coded revelations). John R. Neill’s illustrations define Oz’s visual style, from the Gump’s flying sofa to Glinda’s sorcerous grandeur.
