The Land of Ev is a fictional country in the Oz books of L. Frank Baum and his successors.[1] The country was first visited in Baum's third Oz novel, 1907's Ozma of Oz, and was the first of Baum's countries that surround the Land of Oz.[2] This book introduced the Nome King, a recurring villain who lives underground beneath the Land of Ev.[3]
