Author's Note

publication of "The Wonderful Wizard of OZ" I began to receive letters from children, telling me pleasure in reading the story and asking me to "write something more" Scarecrow Tin Woodman At first I considered these little letters, frank and earnest though they were, light of pretty compliments; but the letters continued during succeeding months, and even years

Finally I promised one little girl, long journey me and prefer her request, -- and "Dorothy," -- that when thousand little girls had written me thousand little letters asking Scarecrow Tin Woodman write the book, Either little Dorothy was fairy in disguise, and waved her magic wand, or the success stage production of "The Wizard of OZ" made new friends story, thousand letters reached their destination long since -- and many more followed them

And now, although pleading guilty to long delay, kept my promise book

7 Tip Manufactures Pumpkinhead

Country Gillikins, North Land of Oz, lived youth called Tip more name than that, for old Mombi often declared that his whole name was Tippetarius; but no one was expected such long word when "Tip" would do just

This boy remembered nothing parents, for he brought when quite young reared old woman known as Mombi, whose reputation, sorry , was best Gillikin people had reason to suspect her of indulging in magical arts, and therefore hesitated to associate with her

Mombi was not exactly Witch, because the Good Witch who ruled that part Land of Oz

had forbidden Witch to exist in her dominions So Tip's guardian, however much she might aspire to working magic, realized unlawful more than Sorceress, or at most Wizardess

Tip to carry wood forest, old woman might boil her pot He also worked corn-fields, hoeing and husking; and he fed the pigs and milked the four-horned cow that was Mombi's especial pride

But not suppose he worked all the time, for bad for him When sent forest Tip often climbed trees for birds' eggs or amused himself chasing the fleet white rabbits or fishing brooks with bent pins Then hastily gather his armful of wood and carry it home And when supposed working corn-fields, tall stalks hid him from Mombi's view, Tip would often dig gopher holes, or mood seized him --

9 lie upon his back rows of corn and take nap So, by taking care not to exhaust his strength, he grew as strong and rugged as boy

Mombi's curious magic often frightened her neighbors, treated her shyly, yet respectfully, because of her weird powers But Tip frankly hated her, and took no pains to hide his feelings Indeed, he sometimes showed less respect old woman than done, considering she was his guardian

There were pumpkins in Mombi's corn-fields, lying golden red rows of green stalks; and these planted and carefully tended four-horned cow might eat winter time But one day, corn had all been cut and stacked, and Tip was carrying the pumpkins stable, notion "Jack Lantern" and try the old woman fright with it

So he selected fine, big pumpkin -- one with lustrous, orange-red color -- and began carving it point knife two round eyes, three-cornered nose, and

10 mouth shaped like new moon The face, when completed, considered strictly beautiful; but it wore smile so big and broad, and was so Jolly in expression, that even Tip laughed as he looked admiringly at his work

The child had no playmates, so know that boys often dig out the inside of "pumpkin-jack," and space thus made put lighted candle to render the face more startling; but he conceived an idea own that promised quite as effective He decided to manufacture the form of man, wear this pumpkin head, and to stand it in place where old Mombi would meet it

"And then," said Tip to himself, with laugh, "she'll squeal louder brown pig does when I pull her tail, and shiver with fright worse than last year when I had the ague ! "

He had plenty to accomplish this task, for Mombi had gone to village -- groceries, she said -- and journey of two days

So his axe forest, and selected some stout, straight saplings, which he cut down and trimmed of all their twigs and leaves arms, and legs, and feet man body he stripped sheet of thick

11 bark from around big tree, and with much labor fashioned it into cylinder of right size, pinning the edges together with wooden pegs Then, whistling happily as he worked, he carefully jointed the limbs and fastened them body with pegs whittled into shape knife

this feat accomplished it began to grow dark, and Tip remembered milk the cow and feed the pigs So he picked up his wooden man and carried it back house

During the evening, light fire kitchen, Tip carefully rounded all the edges joints and smoothed the rough places in neat and workmanlike manner Then he stood the figure up against the wall and admired it It seemed remarkably tall, even for full-grown man; but that was good point in small boy's eyes, and Tip object at all size creation

Next morning, when he looked at his work again, Tip saw he had forgotten the dummy neck, he might fasten the pumpkinhead body So he went again forest, not far away, and chopped from tree several pieces of wood to complete his work When he returned he fastened cross-piece

12 upper end body, making hole center to hold upright the neck The bit of wood which formed this neck was also sharpened upper end, and when all was ready Tip put pumpkin head, pressing it well down onto the neck, and found fitted The head turned to one side or the other, as he pleased, hinges arms and legs allowed him the dummy in any position he desired

"Now, that," declared Tip, proudly, "is really very fine man, and it ought to frighten several screeches out of old Mombi ! But it much more lifelike were properly dressed "

clothing seemed no easy task; but Tip boldly ransacked the great chest Mombi kept all her keepsakes and treasures, and very bottom he discovered some purple trousers, red shirt and pink vest dotted with white spots These he carried away man and succeeded, although the garments fit , in dressing the creature in jaunty fashion Some knit stockings belonging to Mombi and much worn pair own shoes completed the man's apparel, and Tip was so delighted that he danced up and down and laughed aloud in boyish ecstacy

" give him name ! " he cried "So good man must surely have name I believe," he added, after moment's thought, " name the fellow 'Jack Pumpkinhead ! '"

15 The Marvelous Powder of Life

After considering the matter carefully, Tip decided best place to locate Jack bend road, little way house So he started to carry his man there, but found him heavy and rather awkward to handle After dragging the creature short distance Tip stood him feet, and by first bending the joints of one leg, and then those other, same time pushing from behind, the boy managed to induce Jack to walk bend road not accomplished without few tumbles, and Tip really worked harder than he ever had fields or

16 forest; but love of mischief urged him on, and it pleased him to test the cleverness workmanship
