Book Description

December 5, 2002
More news from Oz? That’s right! It seems that exciting adventures are continually occurring in the marvelous Land of Oz. So much has happened that this book contains not just one Oz adventure, but six.

Within these pages, you’ll encounter friends you may already know--Dorothy Gale, the Glass Cat, the Patchwork Girl, and Kabumpo the Elegant Elephant of Oz, to name a few. But you’ll meet some new characters here, too—the Salt Sorcerer, a green bear named Fardels, an ancient catfish named Uncle Chester, and--the author's favorite--Amanda.

So come travel with Eric Shanower from the sun-dappled darkness of the Forest of Gugu to the burning Deadly Desert to the glorious Emerald City. The magic of Oz seems to be everlasting.

In The Salt Sorcerer of Oz, Kabumpo the Elegant Elephant of Oz is back, and he’s facing elephant-sized troubles. But just maybe the mysterious Salt Sorcerer can keep Kabumpo from getting all wet as they hunt for the Crystal Corkscrew.

In Dorothy and the Mushroom Queen, the girl from Kansas takes the Glass Cat and Flicker on a journey to hidden caverns beneath the Land of Oz where they find the amazing Mushroom Queen.

In The Final Fate of the Frogman, Woot the Wanderer discovers whatever happened to the Frogman of Oz.

In Gugu and the Kalidahs, a renegade Kalidah, one of those fierce beasts with tiger heads and bear bodies, menaces the Forest of Gugu.

In The Balloon-Girl of Oz, the Patchwork Girl of Oz undergoes unexpected inflation.

In The Silver Jug, one of Glinda’s handmaidens just can’t seem to stay out of mischief, until Glinda presents her with more mischief than she can handle!

In polished prose and pictures--plus a pack of poems--Eric Shanower presents the latest events from Oz for the pleasure of readers everywhere!

More About the Author

Eric Shanower is the Eisner Award-winning and New York Times best selling cartoonist of Age of Bronze, a graphic novel retelling of the Trojan War. Age of Bronze is a work in progress. Three volumes have been published and the story is more than one-third complete. When finished, Age of Bronze will tell the entire story of the legendary war at Troy, weaving into one the many tellings and permutations of the story throughout the centuries.

As a child, Shanower fell in love with the Oz books by L. Frank Baum and their illustrations by John R. Neill. Shanower decided to write and illustrate his own Oz books someday. Goal accomplished. Shanower's long list of contributions to the world of L. Frank Baum's Oz includes Marvel Comics' Eisner Award-winning, New York Times best selling current adaptations of Baum's Oz books with cartoonist Skottie Young.

Shanower's illustrations have appeared in magazines, in childrens books, and on television. His comics have been published around the world and include such works as his Oz graphic novel series (currently collected as Adventures in Oz), An Accidental Death with writer Ed Brubaker, The Elsewhere Prince with writers Moebius and R-JM Lofficier, and the introductions to Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor. He resides in San Diego with his partner. When he's not writing or drawing, he's often swimming, dancing, or reading, usually not all at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faithful to L. Frank Baum's original and classic series, March 10, 2003
This review is from: The Salt Sorcerer of Oz and Other Stories (Hardcover)
Written and illustrated by Eric Shanower, The Salt Sorcerer Of Oz And Other Stories is an anthology of exciting adventures set in (and faithful to) L.
