    About this audiobook

    Woot the Wanderer finds himself at the home of the Tin Woodman of Oz and desires to hear the story of how a woodman made of tin could come to be. The Tin Woodman tells the tale of how he was once Nick Chopper, a man of flesh and blood, in love with a young girl named Nimmie Amee. The Wicked Witch of the East was not happy about this and so she enchanted his axe and had him cut off his limbs one at a time, which were replaced with limbs made of tin. Nimmie Amee still loved the tin Nick, but he was unable to love her back because he had no heart left in his tin body. The conversation makes the Tin Woodman decide to go and find his old love, with the help of Woot and the Scarecrow. Meeting other characters and adventures along the way, they venture to find Nimmie Amee on a quest to see if she still loves the Tin Woodman and whether the two can live happily ever after.
    L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American author of children's books, most famous for his "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." Baum wrote 13 sequels to his first Oz book and still has a huge fan base to this day. "The Tin Woodman of Oz" was the 12th book in the Oz series and serves as a back story to "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."

      Includes the Tin Woodman and Captain Fyter who was a soldier who went through the same transformation at the hands of the same tinsmith.
    • 5/5
      I have always been a huge fan of the Wizard of Oz. Growing up, I only knew of the actual movie. Then once I became an adult and started working on my Oz collection, I read the book.

      Never knowing that there were several books in the series, I instantly stared downloading books and reading. Even at the age of 40 something, I love these books.

      Your never too old to wander to Oz and live the crazy life that exist with Dorothy and her friends.
    • 5/5
      A wonderful story. I love the friendship between the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow.
    • 5/5
      This is my personal favorite Oz book. It's markedly more existential than any other book in the series, quite bizarre in places, and it focuses on my three favorite characters: the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and Polychrome. There are at least two or three Baum Oz books that are objectively "better," in terms of their well-roundedness or their universal appeal, but I think this is still a very high-level volume (and it has some of Neill's very best art, too). Those who can appreciate it are absolutely right to do so.
