The Wonderful World of Oz
Author: L. Frank Baum
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9780141180854
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
This fully annotated volume collects three of Baum's fourteen Oz novels in which he developed his utopian vision and which garnered an immense and loyal following. The Wizard of Oz (1900) introduces Dorothy, who arrives from Kansas and meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, and a host of other characters. The Emerald City of Oz (1910) finds Dorothy, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry coming to Oz just as the wicked Nome King is plotting to conquer its people. In Baum's final novel, Glinda of Oz (1920), Dorothy and Princess Ozma try to prevent a battle between the Skeezers and the Flatheads. Tapping into a deeply rooted desire in himself and his loyal readers to live in a peaceful country which values the sharing of talents and gifts, Baum's imaginative creation, like all great utopian literature, holds out the possibility for change. Also included is a selection of the original illustrations by W. W. Denslow and John R. Neill. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

The Annotated Wizard of Oz
Author: Lyman Frank Baum
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 9780393049923
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 570
Book Description
The first striking thing about this book is its elegant dust jacket made to look like a copper plate. But the eye candy stretches past the front cover, nearly every page with either color illustrations or distinctive frames, fleurons, and figures around the text. Not surprising to those who've taken some literature classes, the annotations following a page of text are often far longer than whatever bit of text they illustrate. But if the reader should find academicism beside the point, annotations are easy to skip because Baum's story is written in larger type. This edition is for both kids and kiddie litters, the latter interested in such tidbits as the Dorothy-type farmgirl character called Dot, Dolly, and Doris in other works by Frank Baum, and the reigning theory that Dorothy lived in Kansas, yes, but more specifically, Topeka. Reprinted from the 1900 edition with many of the original drawings by W.W. Denslow. Oversize: 9.5x10.5". Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Pages : 76
Book Description
In Baum's third Oz book (1907), Dorothy is traveling with her Uncle Henry by sea to visit relatives in Australia when she is swept overboard in a storm. She survives by climbing into a chicken coop that is also washed into the sea. When the strange craft makes landfall, the hen inside can talk, so Dorothy knows she's in a magic land and names her companion Billina. They are in Ev, to the east of the great desert that surrounds Oz. The king sold his wife and ten children into slavery with the Nome King, then drowned himself in sorrow; currently, Ev is "overseen" by Princess Langwidere, a niece who has 30 different heads that she trades off wearing. She locks Dorothy in a tower. But Ozma, Scarecrow, The Tin Woodman, The Cowardly Lion, and a small army arrive in Ev, free Dorothy, and decide to rescue the Royal Family of Ev from the Nome King -- who lives in caverns under the mountains where the Nomes make gold, silver, and precious gems which they hide under the earth. The Nome King says he turned all the Royal Family into little ornaments in his palace, and proposes a wager with the visitors to see if they can identify them -- or become ornaments themselves! Will he honor his promise? And how will our heroes beat his magic belt and huge armies? _Ozma_ also introduced the popular copper robot Tik-Tok, who will turn up in later Oz books.
