A Faithful Story of the Astonishing Adventure Undertaken by the Tin Woodman, Assisted by Woot the Wanderer, the Scarecrow of Oz, and Polychrome, the Rainbow’s Daughter. The twelfth in the series by L Frank Baum was first published on May 13th, 1918. The Tin Woodman and the Wizard of Oz are regaling each other with tales at the Woodman’s palace in the Winkie Country when a Gillikin boy named Woot wanders in and asks the Woodman how he came to be made of tin. He tells how the Wicked Witch of the East enchanted his axe and caused him to chop his body parts off limb by limb, because he was in love with her ward, Nimmie Amee. Each chopped limb was replaced by one made of tin. Without a heart, the Tin Woodman feels he can no longer love Nimmie Amee and he leaves her. Dorothy and the Scarecrow find him after he has rusted in the forest and go with him to the Emerald City where the Wizard gives him a heart. Woot suggests that the heart may have made him kind, but it did not make him loving, or he would have returned to Nimmie Amee. This shames the Tin Woodman and inspires him to journey to the Munchkin Country and find her.
