L. F. Baum - the Road to Oz
With celebrations underway for Ozma of Oz's birthday, Dorothy and Toto again venture to the magical land of Oz. Meeting Shaggy Man, Button Bright, and Polychrome along the way to the Emerald City of Oz, Dorothy and her companions must out-fox the mayor of Foxville and safely cross the Deadly Desert in time for Ozma's birthday party. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its thirteen sequels have enchanted audiences since their publication in the early twentieth century. The Road to Oz is the fifth novel in the Oz series, and features guest appearances by non-Oz characters-like Santa Claus and Jack Frost-from other L. Frank Baum works.

Oz in Perspective
When moviegoers accompany Dorothy through the gates of the Emerald City, they may think they have discovered all there is to see of Oz--but as real friends of the Wizard know, more lies behind the curtain. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, on which the 1939 film was based, was only the first of 14 Oz books.

Frank Baum's entire series of full-length Oz books, this study introduces readers to the great folklorist who created not only Dorothy and friends, but countless wonderful characters who still await di...
