. . . "Tin Palace"@en . . "0"^^ . . "The Tin Woodman was originally a Munchkin named Nick (Niccolo) Chopper. Niccolo Chopper was renowned for his ability to play the piccolo, and he is shown playing a piccolo in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz film of 1910. His father was a woodman who chopped down trees, and when Nick grew up he became one as well. After his parents died, Nick decided to marry, and fell in love with a beautiful Munchkin girl named Nimmie Amee (originally called Cynthia Cynch, the Lady Lunatic, in the 1902 stage musical, The Wizard of Oz), who worked as the servant of an old woman. This old woman did not want to lose Nimee Amee, so she paid the Wicked Witch of the East two sheep and a cow to prevent her marriage to Nick. The Witch enchanted his axe to chop off all of his body parts one by one. After each accident, a tinsmith replaced the lost part with a tin one until eventually his entire body was made of tin. But his new tin body had no heart, so he lost his love for Nimmie Amee. Some time later he was caught out in the forest during a storm and rusted solid. He stood there for a year until Dorothy Gale and the Scarecrow found him. He decided to join them in their journey to the Emerald City and ask the Wizard of Oz to give him a heart. The Wizard sent them to destroy the Wicked Witch of the West, and after they succeeded, the Winkies asked the Tin Woodman to be their ruler. He chose to return to the Emerald City with his companions where they discovered that the Wizard was a humbug. The Wizard cut a hole in the Tin Woodman's chest and inserted a silk heart stuffed with sawdust, which proved to be very soft and tender. This tenderness remained with him even after he became Emperor of the Winkies, as evidenced when he refused to let a butterfly be killed for the casting of a spell. When Dorothy returned home to her farm in Kansas, the Tin Woodman returned to the Winkie Country to rule as emperor. He had himself nickel-plated and later had his subjects construct a palace made entirely of tin \u2014 from the architecture all the way down to the flowers in the garden. The grounds also feature tin statues of the Emperor's personal friends. The Tin Woodman has had many other occupations as well as that of Woodman and Emperor. He commanded Princess Ozma's army and was briefly turned into a tin whistle. He also served as defense counsel in the trial of Eureka the kitten. Nick Chopper finally set out to find his lost love, Nimmie Amee, but discovered that she had already married a man constructed partly out of his own discarded limbs. For the Tin Woodman, this encounter with his former fianc\u00E9e was almost as jarring as his experience being transformed into a tin man, meeting another tin man, and conversing with his ill-tempered original head."@en . . .

"The Tin Woodman (or Emperor Nicholas III of the House of Chopper), is a fictional character invented by L Frank Baum, author and creator of the Oz legacy. He is first introduced as a main character in Baum's first Oz book titled The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900. He makes his debut appearance in the fifth chapter of the novel titled The Rescue of the Tin Woodman. He was born and raised in the magical Land of Oz and his real given birth name is Nicholas Chopper, or simply \"Nick\" Chopper for short. However, he is more known and called by his popular nickname, the Tin Woodman or just \"Tin-Man\" for short. He also is the second comrade to join the story's child protagonist and heroine of the novel named Dorothy Gale, who finds him rusted solid in distress in the middle of a big forest. In the end of the story, the Tin Woodman earns what he so deeply desired for and becomes the most loving and compassionate figure in all of Oz. \n* In the book, it is stated by Baum he was born in the eastern quadrant in Oz known as Munchkin Country even though he is of average adult height. This hints he might not be a full blooded Munchkinlander since 90% of the Munchkin people are all small, standing only three to four feet high."@en . "Tin Woodman"@en . . . . "5000"^^ .
