Волшебную страну и ее столицу Изумрудный город населяли племена маленьких людей - Жевунов, Мигунов, Болтунов, у которых была очень хорошая память на все, чему они удивлялись.

Урфин Джюс, изгнанный из Изумрудного города после разгрома своей деревянной армии, десять лет влачит жизнь огородника-отшельника в стране Жевунов.
