In Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz Dorothy is joining Uncle Henry in California at Hugson's Ranch, on their way home from Australia. She strikes up an acquaintance with Hugson's nephew and her second cousin, Zeb. Dorothy, her cat Eureka and Zeb are riding a buggy when an earthquake starts and opens a crevice sending them hurtling into the bowels of the earth. Dorothy, Eureka, Jim, Zeb, and the buggy find themselves in the land of the Mangaboos, a vegetable people who accuse them of causing the Rain of Stones. Just as they are about to be sentenced to death, a hot air balloon falls out of the sky, and in the basket is the Wizard of Oz, whom Dorothy last met as he floated away from the Emerald City. Lyman Frank Baum was an American author of children's books, best known for writing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels, and a host of other works.
