   	Princess Langwidere of Ev. She was going to trade her second-best head   
   for Dorothy's. That was in the book "Ozma of Oz" where we also first   
   meet the jolly Nome King who was really the only significant repeating   
   villain of the series.   
      
   	From the second book, The Marvelous Land of Oz, there's the life of   
   Pip, effectively slave to Mombi the Witch, who calmly describes her   
   intention to transform him into a stone statue as an ornament for her   
   garden. Baum being Baum, he doesn't force Pip to have to figure out how   
   to escape from a prison because Pip has been so overall obedient   
   (despite occasional practical jokes) that it doesn't occur to Mombi that   
   he'll actually run away. Which of course he does, taking with him some   
   rather valuable items.
