Ozma of Oz [Hardcover]

L. Frank Baum (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 12, 2009

Did you know that Dorothy had more than one adventure in Oz? Thrown overboard an ocean liner in a storm, Dorothy finds herself floating away in a coop with Billina, a talking chicken. They land in the Land of Ev, which just happens to be around the corner from Dorothy's old haunt, the Land of Oz. Ev, Dorothy discovers, is just as strange as Oz. She and Billina befriend Tik-Tok, a clockwork man in need of winding, and narrowly escape the Wheelers, wild animals with wheels for legs. Rescued from an evil multi-headed princess by Ozma, the ruler of Oz, Dorothy and her new friends decide to accompany Ozma on her mission - to free the real rulers of Ev from the clutches of the dastardly Nome King. Ozma of Oz will delight readers with the same sense of whimsy and excitement which characterized The Wizard of Oz.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of a great series, November 22, 1999

This review is from: Ozma of Oz (Wonderful Oz Books) (Mass Market Paperback)

Though I first read this book nearly 50 years ago, it still remains one of the best books I have ever read. Adults may feel that it is a kid's book, and of course it is perfect for kids, but believe me, it can be enjoyed by people of any age. All you need is love of a good story. For many years Ozma was my heroine--I dreamed that I would meet her somehow, somehow be transported like Dorothy to the Land of Oz. Though these dreams faded, I still often think that this book might be the favorite book of my life. Dorothy's new adventures, the rescue expedition from Oz that crosses the Deadly Desert, and the spooky confrontation between good and evil in the caverns of the Nome King. The Oz characters have accompanied me through life. Try them---you will never forget them.

This review is from: Ozma of Oz (Kindle Edition)

This title apparently has no images. None of the original great art of the novel. And that's a problem, because there's at least one place in the store where the narrative stops, and the reader is supposed to read from the image in the book. Then the story continues as if you've read the image. But this version has no images, and no replacing text. So there's a discontinuity in the story where the image should have been. The story itself is great, but this version really does suffer for not having the original art.

5.0 out of 5 stars These books are awesome., January 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ozma of Oz (Hardcover)

I just love this books. So much imagination! I read this book back in first grade. I read a lot that year, and no book stuck in my mind like this one did. I have remembered the story for years, because it is so original. I recently checked it out in the library to re-read it, and it was every bit as good. I recommend this book to all ages, L. Frank is da Baum! :)
