This volume features the first two novels of L. Frank Baum's
classic Oz series. In `The Wonderful Wizard of Oz', Dorothy Gale
and her dog Toto are transported to the magical land of Oz, where
they team up with the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and Cowardly Lion to
seek the help of the Wizard of Oz himself. In `The Marvelous Land
of Oz', Tip, Jack Pumpkinhead, the Saw-Horse and the Woggle-Bug
work together to help to save the Scarecrow's besieged city.
L. Frank Baum's work is universally celebrated and The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz is known worldwide, in particular for its 1939 musical
film adaptation starring Judy Garland as Dorothy. Published in
1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz depicted the young farm girl
Dorothy and her pet dog Toto, who are swept away to the Land of Oz
in a cyclone. Baum was inspired by the works of the Brothers Grimm
and Hans Christian Andersen, focusing on manipulating the fairy
tale tradition with an American feel in the Oz series. This edition
collects together the best of L. Frank Baum's Oz works, taking
material from the very first 1900 publication of The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz and subsequent novels including Ozma of Oz, Dorothy
and the Wizard in Oz and The Lost Princess of Oz.
`The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick,' said
the Witch; `so you cannot miss it. When you get to Oz do not be
afraid of him, but tell your story and ask him to help you.' A
cyclone hits Kansas and whirls away Dorothy and her little dog Toto
to the magical Land of Oz, where wild beasts talk, silver shoes
have magic powers, and good witches offer protection with a kiss.
But Dorothy has made an enemy of the Wicked Witch of the West. With
her new friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly
Lion, they brave many dangers in search of the Wonderful Wizard in
his Emerald City at the heart of Oz to ask him to grant each of
them what they most desire - only to find that they already possess
it. Published at the dawn of the twentieth century, The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz (1900) immediately captivated child and adult readers
alike. This new edition includes many of W. W. Denslow's original
illustrations, and the introduction considers both the famous MGM
film version and recent literary theory in a fascinating discussion
of this children's classic. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is the quintessential American fairy
tale. Michael Patrick Hearn, the world's leading Oz scholar, now
provides a fascinating new annotation that not only reacquaints
readers with the Tin Woodman, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion, but
also illuminates the colorful background of this treasured American
classic. This edition explores numerous contemporary references,
provides character sources, and explains the actual meaning of the
word "Oz." A facsimile of the rare 1900 first edition appears with
the original drawings by W.W. Denslow, as well as 25 previously
unpublished illustrations. There is a bibliography of L. Frank
Baum's published work, every notable "Oz" edition, and the stage
and cinematic productions from 1939's The Wizard of Oz, to the 1974
Broadway hit, The Wiz. A beautiful, awe-inspiring work, ?The
Annotated Wizard of Oz? is an enduring tribute to the timeless joy
of ?The Wizard of Oz?, and a classic to rival Baum's own.
