In TIN WOODMAN, Baum returns to the origin story of the titular character: "many of my correspondents have asked me, time and again, what ever became of the 'pretty Munchkin girl' whom Nick Chopper was engaged to marry before the Wicked Witch enchanted his axe and he traded his flesh for tin. I, too, have wondered what became of her," notes Baum as Royal Historian. A classic follow-up to the tale of the original four main characters (plus Toto) of Oz.
