"Dot and Tot of Merryland" by L. Frank Baum is a children's novel published in 1901. A young girl named Dot and a little boy named Tot discover a magical land by floating down a river through a tunnel. Merryland contains seven enchanted valleys, each with its own wonders—from living clowns and candy people to wind-up toys and a mysterious Queen. This whimsical adventure, illustrated by W. W. Denslow, explores a fantastical world that would later connect to Baum's famous Oz series. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
