      The Tin Woodman of Oz

      Baum’s twelfth Oz book, The Tin Woodman of Oz, appeared in 1918, published by Reilly & Britton and illustrated by John R. Neill.  When asked by a visiting Gillikin boy, Woot the Wanderer, about his history, the Tin Woodman recounts the familiar tale about how he lost his limbs and eventually met Dorothy Gale and traveled to the Emerald City for a heart.  Woot tells the Tin Woodman that with a new heart he may be kind, but he is not a loving person, or he would have returned to his sweetheart, Nimmie Amee.  Ashamed, the Tin Woodman and Woot, accompanied by the Scarecrow, travel into the Gillikin Country where they meet a variety of strange magical creatures as well as a wicked enchantress, a giantess named Mrs. Yoop, who promptly transforms them.  Further exciting adventures ensue as well as encounters with even more unusual friends and foes.  Along the way, the reader also learns something of the fascinating background history of the Land of Oz.

      TO MY READERS

      I know that some of you have been waiting for this story of the Tin Woodman, because 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, but until Woot the Wanderer interested himself in the matter the Tin Woodman knew no more than we did. However, he found her, after many thrilling adventures, as you will discover when you have read this story.

      I am delighted at the continued interest of both young and old in the Oz stories. A learned college professor recently wrote me to ask: For readers of what age are your books intended? It puzzled me to answer that properly, until I had looked over some of the letters I have received. One says: I’m a little boy 5 years old, and I just love your Oz stories. My sister, who is writing this for me, reads me the Oz books, but I wish I could read them myself. Another letter says: I’m a great girl 13 years old, so you’ll be surprised when I tell you I am not too old yet for the Oz stories. Here’s another letter: Since I was a young girl I’ve never missed getting a Baum book for Christmas. I’m married, now, but am as eager to get and read the Oz stories as ever. And still another writes: My good wife and I, both more than 70 years of age, believe that we find more real enjoyment in your Oz books than in any other books we read. Considering these statements, I wrote the college professor that my books are intended for all those whose hearts are young, no matter what their ages may be.

      And while on this subject of letters I am reminded that a good many of my correspondents neglect to slip a 3-cent postage-stamp into their letters, for the answer. You are sending but one letter, you know, while I get so many hundreds of letters that to prepay postage on all the answers to them would be no small burden to me.

      I think I am justified in promising that there will be some astonishing revelations about The Magic of Oz in my book for 1919.

      Always your loving and grateful friend,

      L. Frank Baum,

      Royal Historian of Oz.

      Woot the Wanderer

      CHAPTER 1

      The Tin Woodman sat on his glittering tin throne in the handsome tin hall of his splendid tin castle in the Winkie Country of the Land of Oz. Beside him, in a chair of woven straw, sat his best friend, the Scarecrow of Oz. At times they spoke to one another of curious things they had seen and strange adventures they had known since first they two had met and become comrades. But at times they were silent, for these things had been talked over many times between them, and they found themselves contented in merely being together, speaking now and then a brief sentence to prove they were wide awake and attentive. But then, these two quaint persons never slept. Why should they sleep, when they never tired?

      And now, as the brilliant sun sank low over the Winkie Country of Oz, tinting the glistening tin towers and tin minarets of the tin castle with glorious sunset hues, there approached along a winding pathway Woot the Wanderer, who met at the castle entrance a Winkie servant.

      The servants of the Tin Woodman all wore tin helmets and tin breastplates and uniforms covered with tiny tin discs sewed closely together on silver cloth, so that their bodies sparkled as beautifully as did the tin castle — and almost as beautifully as did the Tin Woodman himself.

      Woot the Wanderer looked at the man servant — all bright and glittering — and at the magnificent castle — all bright and glittering — and as he looked his eyes grew big with wonder. For Woot was not very big and not very old and, wanderer though he was, this proved the most gorgeous sight that had ever met his boyish gaze.

      Who lives here? he asked.

      The Emperor of the Winkies, who is the famous Tin Woodman of Oz, replied the servant, who had been trained to treat all strangers with courtesy.

      A Tin Woodman? How queer! exclaimed the little wanderer.

      Well, perhaps our Emperor is queer, admitted the servant; but he is a kind master and as honest and true as good tin can make him; so we, who gladly serve him, are apt to forget that he is not like other people.

      May I see him? asked Woot the Wanderer, after a moment’s thought.

      If it please you to wait a moment, I will go and ask him, said the servant, and then he went into the hall where the Tin Woodman sat with his friend the Scarecrow. Both were glad to learn that a stranger had arrived at the castle, for this would give them something new to talk about, so the servant was asked to admit the boy at once.

      By the time Woot the Wanderer had passed through the grand corridors — all lined with ornamental tin — and under stately tin archways and through the many tin rooms all set with beautiful tin furniture, his eyes had grown bigger than ever and his whole little body thrilled with amazement. But, astonished though he was, he was able to make a polite bow before the throne and to say in a respectful voice: I salute your Illustrious Majesty and offer you my humble services.

      Very good! answered the Tin Woodman in his accustomed cheerful manner. Tell me who you are, and whence you come.

      I am known as Woot the Wanderer, answered the boy, and I have come, through many travels and by roundabout ways, from my former home in a far corner of the Gillikin Country of Oz.

      To wander from one’s home, remarked the Scarecrow, is to encounter dangers and hardships, especially if one is made of meat and bone. Had you no friends in that corner of the Gillikin Country? Was it not homelike and comfortable?
