Princess Ozma and Dorothy travel to an obscure corner of the Land of Oz, in order to prevent a war between two local powers, the Skeezers and the Flatheads. The leaders of the two tribes prove obstinate, and are determined to fight in spite of Ozma and Dorothy. Unable to prevent the war, Dorothy and Ozma find themselves imprisoned on the Skeezers' glass-covered island, which has been magically submerged to the bottom of its lake. Their situation worsens when the warlike queen Coo-ee-oh, who is holding them captive and who alone knows how to raise the island back to the surface of the lake, loses her battle and gets transformed into a swan, forgetting all her magic in the process, and leaving the inhabitants of the island, with Ozma and Dorothy, trapped at the bottom of the lake. Ozma and Dorothy summon Glinda, who, with help from several magicians and magical assistants, must find a way to raise the island to the surface of the lake again, and liberate its inhabitants.
Autorenporträt
Lyamn Frank Baum (1856-1919) was schrijver, journalist, dichter, acteur en film-maker. Baum trouwde in 1882 met de feministe Maud Cage, met wie hij vier kinderen kreeg. De boeken Mother Goose in Prose (1897) en Father Goose, His Book (1899) zijn werken die in meer of mindere mate bekend zijn geworden tijdens het leven van Baum, maar zijn definitieve doorbraak kwam met het boek The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900 in Nederland beter bekend als De Grote Tovenaar van Oz in de Nederlandse vertaling van Hendrik Scholte uit 1940. In 1904 publiceerde Baum zijn eerste succesvolle vervolg getiteld The Marvelous Land of Oz, in totaal zouden er zo'n 17 Oz boeken verschijnen van zijn hand.
