Publisher's Synopsis
In the prologue, Baum explains how he managed to get another story about Oz, even though it is isolated from all other worlds. He explains that a child suggested he make contact with Oz with wireless telegraphy. Glinda, using her book that records everything that happens, is able to know that someone is using a telegraph to contact Oz, so she erects a telegraph tower and has the Shaggy Man, who knows how to make a telegraph reply, tell the story contained in this book to Baum. Little Ojo and his Unc Nunkie are beset by a terrible problem: the bread on the bread tree isn't ripe, and the butter and jam is all gone . . . And out of so small a difficulty, in the magical Land of Oz, arises one of the most miraculous of tales of Oz, in which the reader meets such wondrous characters as the talkative Glass Cat, the Wise Donkey, the savage Woozy -- and of course the lovable Patchwork Girl herself.
