The Magic of Oz

The story unfolds in the Land of Oz, specifically in Munchkin Country, where Mount Munch looms large, separating the enchanting Fairyland of Oz from the outside world. While the Munchkins remain unaware of the life atop this towering hill, the Hyups inhabit its broad, saucer-shaped summit, cultivating fields and raising livestock in a hidden, self-sufficient community. Their isolation is compounded by the mountain's steep slopes, which prevent interaction between the two groups, highlighting themes of separation and the unknown.
