The Marvelous Land of Oz | Chapter 6: Jack Pumpkinhead’s Ride to the Emerald City

The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum — Chapter 6: Jack Pumpkinhead’s Ride to the Emerald City

Tip and his pumpkin-headed companion face a cross ferryman and a swift river before they race along the road of yellow brick on the wooden Saw-Horse. The journey grows faster, and wilder, than anyone planned, and soon the travelers are split apart on the road.

Jack finds himself alone at the gleaming green walls of the Emerald City, where a round Guardian of the Gates asks questions no one can quite answer. Green spectacles, a soldier with long whiskers, and a palace full of gems await him, and the Scarecrow is waiting just beyond the throne room door.
