Although L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was published
one hundred years ago, literary critics and historians continue to
discover new approaches to the fantastic world of Oz. The second in
a new series of anthologies sponsored by the Children's Literature
Association, this collection of essays represents some of the most
interesting of these new approaches. Beginning with a glance back
over the entire history of research and commentary on the Oz books,
this work is organized in three main sections. Essays in the
"Origins of Oz" examine Frank Baum's personal history and unlock
the mystery of one of the most bizarre episodes in the Oz books.
"The World of Oz" looks at three very different aspects of Baum's
world: its concept of home and family, its sense of humor, and its
relationship to its young readers. "Oz on Screen" features both the
silent films Baum produced himself and MGM's classic movie The
Wizard of Oz.
