Dorothy And the Wizard in Oz (Oz, #4)
L. Frank Baum
When Dorothy recovered her senses they were still falling, but not so fast. The top of the buggy caught the air like a parachute or an umbrella filled with wind, and held them back so that they floated downward with a gentle motion that was not so very disagreeable to bear. The worst thing was their terror of reaching the bottom of this great crack in the earth, and the natural fear that sudden death was about to overtake them at any moment.

L. Frank Baum
Peace, prosperity, and happiness are the rule in the marvelous Land of Oz, but in a faraway corner of this magical domain dwell two tribes--the Flatheads and the Skeezers--who have declared war on each other. Determined to keep her subjects from fighting, the Ruler of Oz, Princess Ozma, along with her dearest friend, Princess Dorothy Gale (formerly of Kansas), embarks on a quest to restore peace.When the Supreme Dictator of the Flatheads refuses to cooperate with Ozma, she and Dorothy seek out Queen Coo-ee-oh of the Skeezers, hoping she will be more reasonable. But the queen imprisons Ozma and Dorothy in her grand city and then traps them by submerging the whole city under water. Now it is up to Glinda the Good to save the day. She assembles all of Ozma's counsellors--including such beloved Oz friends as the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Cowardly Lion, Patchwork Girl, Shaggy Man, Tik-Tok, and Wizard of Oz--and they set out to rescue their friends. Will the magic powers of Glinda and the Wizard combined be enough to free Ozma and Dorothy?

Il mago di Oz
L. Frank Baum
Travolta da un ciclone, la piccola Dorothy si ritrova sbalzata dalla tranquilla e grigia fattoria degli zii, nel Kansas, al magico e misterioso Regno di Oz. Per poter tornare a casa la bambina dovrà parlare col Mago di Oz in persona, ma non è facile: per raggiungerlo, nella sua meravigliosa Città di Smeraldo, Dorothy dovrà attraversare territori sconosciuti e superare mille insidie. Per fortuna lungo il tragitto troverà un sacco di amici...
Il meraviglioso Mago di Oz

Muhteşem Oz Diyarı (Oz, #2)
L. Frank Baum
Oz Büyücüsü’nün yayımlanmasının ardından Korkuluk ve Teneke Adam’la ilgili yeni hikâyeler isteyen okurlarını geri çevirmeyen L. Frank Baum, 1904’te Muhteşem Oz Diyarı’nı kaleme alır. Dorothy’nin Kansas’a dönüşünden kısa süre sonrasında geçen hikâyede bizi hem tanıdık yüzler hem de yeni tanışacağımız karakterler beklemektedir.
Baum, Edward Bellamy ve William Morris gibi ütopyacı yazarlardan etkilenmiş, sanayi toplumu ile pastoral düzenin kesiştiği bir diyar yaratmıştır. Oz’da her şey “canlı” olabilir ve Oz’un ütopyasını tanımlayan değer sistemi, insanlarla sınırlı olmayıp cansız ve mekanik varlıkların yanı sıra flora ve faunayı da içine alacak şekilde genişletilmiştir. Örneğin Tip’in Hayat Tozu’yla canlanan grotesk Jack Kabakkafa’ya yönelik sahiplenici tavrı, Victor Frankenstein’ın kendi yaratığını reddedişine benzemez. Baum’un önyargısız bir işbirliğini teşvik eden görüşleri çocuklar ve yetişkinler için ilham vericidir. Ayrıca kadınların oy hakkı hareketinden etkilenen Baum’un Komutan Jinjur vesilesiyle gelenekselleşmiş cinsiyet rollerini tersyüz etme girişimi de dikkate değerdir.
O Feiticeiro de Oz
L. Frank Baum
Bem-vindo a um mundo mágico de uma beleza magnífica, onde Dorothy, o cão Totó, o espantalho, o Homem de lata e o Leão cobarde enfrentam desafios e ultrapassam os seus próprios medos, enquanto seguem o seu próprio caminho pela Estrada da Pedra Amarela até à cidade da Esmeralda. Tem cuidado com os macacos voadores e com a Bruxa Má e descobre o segredo de Oz, o Grande Feiticeiro. Numa época em que os melhores contos de fadas eram Europeus Frank Baum escreveu este clássico americano que conta como Dorothy, uma menina de uma pequena quinta do Kansas é levada, juntamente com o seu cão Totó num ciclone para longínqua terra de Oz. Tornar-se-ia mais famoso do que Baum poderia alguma vez imaginar, após Judy Garland ter interpretado Dorothy na versão cinematográfica de 1939.
O Mágico de Oz
L. Frank Baum
O magnífico mágico de OZ
L. Frank Baum
Voltar para casa é um desejo latente de todos nós. Em O Magnífico Mágico de Oz, Dorothy e seus amigos — o Espantalho, o Lenhador de Lata e o Leão Covarde — vagam pela estrada de ladrilhos amarelos em busca do que “acham” que precisam. É uma das obras mais importantes do século 20 e fonte de inspiração para diversas outras obras, como a adaptação de 1939 para o cinema e o musical Wicked. O universo de Oz se desdobrou em outras dezenas de livros desconhecidos no Brasil. Confira também o segundo da série: A maravilhosa Terra de Oz.
Our Landlady
L. Frank Baum
It is known that L Frank Baum spent several years in South Dakota before moving to Chicago, where he wrote the Oz books. This title lays out the complexities and ambiguities of Baum's thinking by providing us with the full texts of Baum's columns published weekly in the Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer between January 1890 and February 1891. Nancy Tystad Koupal is a native of Mitchell, South Dakota, and serves as director of the Research and Publishing Program at the South Dakota State Historical Society.
Oz Büyücüsü (Oz, #1)
L. Frank Baum
1900 yılında yayımlanan Oz Büyücüsü, yazarı L. Frank Baum’un ifadesiyle “merak ve eğlencenin korunduğu, kederin ve kâbusların dışarıda bırakıldığı modern bir masal” olmayı amaç edinir.
Amerikan edebiyatının ilk masalı olarak görülen eser, 1890’ların Amerika’sındaki ekonomik, politik ve toplumsal durumun sembolik bir alegorisi olarak değerlendirilir ve Batı’daki çiftçilerin durumunu, dönemin altın piyasasını ve İç Savaş’tan sonra çalışamayıp ekonomik sorunlar yaşayan işçileri sembolize eden unsurlar taşıdığı ileri sürülebilir.
Söz konusu alegorik özelliği ve hayali öğeleriyle hem çocuklara hem de yetişkinlere hitap eden bu klasikleşmiş eser, bir kasırgaya kapılan küçük Dorothy ile köpeği Toto’nun Kansas’ın uçsuz bucaksız çayırlarından fantastik Oz Diyarı’na uzanan yolculuğunu ve bu serüvende edindikleri sıra dışı dostları anlatır. Çıktıkları zorlu ve tuhaf yolculukta Korkuluk beynini, Teneke Adam kalbini, Aslan da cesaretini ararken Dorothy’nin tek istediği Kansas’a, teyzesiyle eniştesinin çiftliğine geri dönebilmektir. Ne de olsa insanın evi gibisi yoktur…

Ozma of Oz (Oz, #3)
L. Frank Baum
Readers of all ages will welcome the chance to be reunited with Dorothy Gale and such beloved characters as the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion, as well as to meet new favorites such as the Hungry Tiger, whose appetite is never satisfied; Princess Langwidere, who has thirty heads; Billina, a talking chicken; and Tiktok, a mechanical man.

Oz: The Complete Collection (Oz, #1-14)
L. Frank Baum
Although most children today are introduced to the world of Oz through the classic 1939 movie, L. Frank Baum has been captivating the hearts of the young, and not so young, for over a hundred years.
This delightful compilation includes all fifteen books written by L. Frank Baum:
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
The Marvelous Land of Oz
Ozma of Oz
Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz
The Road to Oz
The Emerald City of Oz
The Patchwork Girl Of Oz
Little Wizard Stories of Oz
Tik-Tok of Oz
The Scarecrow Of Oz
Rinkitink In Oz
The Lost Princess Of Oz
The Tin Woodman Of Oz
The Magic of Oz
Glinda Of Oz
Perhaps there is no better, or fitting, introduction one could give to this compilation than the author's note that Baum himself writes in his very first book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." Here he reveals the true intention of his work. Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations. Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as "historical" in the children's library; for the time has come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident. Having this thought in mind, the story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.

Queen Zixi of Ix
L. Frank Baum
Queen Zixi of Ix is a children's fantasy novel written by L. Frank Baum. The story follows two children, Bud and Fluff, who are granted a wish by a fairy queen named Zixi. They wish to become king and queen of a magical kingdom, but soon realize that ruling a kingdom is not as easy as they thought. Along the way, they encounter a variety of magical creatures and obstacles, including a wicked witch and a mischievous genie. With the help of their loyal subjects and Queen Zixi herself, Bud and Fluff learn valuable lessons about leadership, responsibility, and the true meaning of happiness. The book is filled with colorful illustrations and imaginative world-building, making it a beloved classic in children's literature.The fairies assembled one moonlit night in a pretty clearing of the ancient forest of Burzee. The clearing was in the form of a circle, and all around stood giant oak and fir trees, while in the center the grass grew green and soft as velvet. If any mortal had ever penetrated so far into the great forest and could have looked upon the fairy circle by daylight, he might perhaps have seen a tiny path worn in the grass by the feet of the dancing elves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Neill, it is significant that no one from Oz appears in the book until its climax; this is due to Baum's having originally written most of the book as an original fantasy novel over ten years earlier, in 1905. Most of the action takes place on three islands – Pingaree, Regos, and Coregos – and within the Nome King's caverns. Since the original ruler of the nomes, Roquat – who later renamed himself Ruggedo, was deposed in 1914's "Tik-Tok of Oz", Baum had to cleverly rework the tale to accommodate his successor, the well-intentioned – but politically motivated – Kaliko.
The book was dedicated to the author's newborn grandson Robert Alison Baum, the first child of the author's second son Robert Stanton Baum

The Complete Wizard of Oz Collection
L. Frank Baum
The Oz books form a book series that begins with
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and that relates the "history" of the Land of
Oz. Oz was originally created by author L. Frank Baum, who went on to write
fourteen Oz books. Although most of the Oz books are strictly adventures,
Baum as well as many later Oz authors styled themselves as "Royal Historians" of
Oz to emphasize that Oz is a genuine place. Later authors wrote 26 other
"official" books after Baum's death. Many other authors have put their own
twists on Oz, notably Gregory Maguire's revisionist Wicked. For more such
books, please see List of Published Oz Apocrypha.

The Surprising Adventures of the Magical Monarch of Mo and His People
L. Frank Baum
I dare say there are several questions you would like to ask at the very beginning of this history. First: Who is the Monarch of Mo? And why is he called the Magical Monarch? And where is Mo, anyhow? And why have you never heard of it before? And can it be reached by a railroad or a trolley-car, or must one walk all the way?
