The Road to Oz is the fifth of L. Frank Baum's Land of Oz books.  Published in 1909, it recounts Dorothy's fourth visit to Oz. The journey begins in Kansas, where Dorothy and Toto meet a wandering hobo called the Shaggy Man. The road splits seven ways, and they meet Button-Bright, a little boy who loses his way, and the fairy Polychrome, the Rainbow’s Daughter who danced off the edge of a disappearing rainbow. They find themselves on another “fairy adventure” in the rival communities of Foxville and then Dunkiton. The reach the Deadly Desert surrounding Oz and are transported across the perilous sands in a sand-boat to Oz, where they are greeted by their chums Billina, Tik-Tok, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and Jack Pumpkinhead, who accompany them to the Emerald City for a celebration of Princess Ozma’s birthday, which is attended by just about every character from all the preceding books.  After feasting and gift-giving the Wizard sends everyone off in bubble transports.
