Publisher's summary
No, this isn't Fables 101, a primer on the wonderful worlds of FABLES. Instead, we check in on Bufkin, Frankie and the Magic Mirror in the lost Business Office to see what they've been up to since slaying Baba Yaga. You won't believe what they're up to. So we won't even try to tell you.

Tired of the Business Office, Bufkin goes on a journey. He climbs the magical tree in the Business Office until he wakes up in Oz. The magical tree he woke up in had grown lunch boxes with food in them instead of fruit. Bufkin helps some prison escapees avoid recapture. Bufkin tells the convicts that he's going to lead in the revolution of Oz. Tired of the Business Office, Bufkin goes on a journey.
