Download or read book The Annotated Wizard of Oz written by Lyman Frank Baum and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2000 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first striking thing about this book is its elegant dust jacket made to look like a copper plate. But the eye candy stretches past the front cover, nearly every page with either color illustrations or distinctive frames, fleurons, and figures around the text. Not surprising to those who've taken some literature classes, the annotations following a page of text are often far longer than whatever bit of text they illustrate. But if the reader should find academicism beside the point, annotations are easy to skip because Baum's story is written in larger type. This edition is for both kids and kiddie litters, the latter interested in such tidbits as the Dorothy-type farmgirl character called Dot, Dolly, and Doris in other works by Frank Baum, and the reigning theory that Dorothy lived in Kansas, yes, but more specifically, Topeka. Reprinted from the 1900 edition with many of the original drawings by W.W. Denslow. Oversize: 9.5x10.5". Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Book excerpt: This is the Oz book which L. Frank Baum considered his best. It starts quietly enough with Trot and Cap'n Bill rowing along a shore of the Pacific Ocean to visit one of the many caves near their home on the California coast. Suddenly, a mighty whirlpool engulfs them. The old sailorman and the little girl are miraculously saved and regain consciousness to find themselves in a sea cavern. (To this day, Trot asserts she felt mermaid arms about her during those terrible moments under water.) From here on, one perilous adventure crowds in upon another. In Jinxland they meet the Scarecrow who takes charge of things once Cap'n Bill is transformed into a tiny grasshopper with a wooden leg. An exciting royal reception greets the adventurers upon their return to the Emerald City.
Download or read book Mother Goose in Prose written by L. Frank Baum and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-27 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume begins with an historical overview written by Baum himself, in which he notes that the first use of the name "Mother Goose" was by the great French author of fantasies, Charles Perrault -- the inventor of Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and Puss in Boots. Each tale begins with the nursery rhyme, and then a tale that illustrates the rhyme follows -- told in Baum's charming, natural fashion. Mother Goose in Prose is a delight for children of all ages. The book's last selection features a girl named Dorothy who can talk to animals - an anticipation of the Oz books. When Baum later included this story in his Juvenile Speaker (1910) and The Snuggle Tales (1916-17), he changed the girl's name to Doris, to avoid confusing her with Dorothy Gale.

Book excerpt: With almost 5 million copies sold 60 years after its original publication, generations of readers have now journeyed with Milo to the Lands Beyond in this beloved classic. Enriched by Jules Feiffer’s splendid illustrations, the wit, wisdom, and wordplay of Norton Juster’s offbeat fantasy are as beguiling as ever. “Comes up bright and new every time I read it . . . it will continue to charm and delight for a very long time yet. And teach us some wisdom, too.” --Phillip Pullman For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams!

Download or read book The Magic of Oz written by L Frank Baum and published by . This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Magic of Oz (1919) is the thirteenth novel in L. Frank Baum's Land of Oz series. Published posthumously, this book is the product of years of heartfelt, imaginative work by one of America's finest authors in the genres of fantasy and children's literature. The novel follows the adventures of a Munchkin youth named Kiki Aru, who must hide his magical abilities following a kingdom-wide ban on the use of magic by anyone other than Glinda the Good Witch and the Wizard of Oz. After the decree, Kiki's father hid the instructions on how to pronounce the word "Pyrzqxgl," a spell that can transform both people and objects according to the will of the speaker. When Kiki Aru discovers the spell, he uses it to change into a hawk and to fly from his native Mount Munch to the Land of Ev. There, he meets Ruggedo, the exiled king of the Nomes, who befriends Kiki Aru in an effort to use the Munchkin's newfound power to get revenge on the Land of Oz. As the pair begin preparing an invasion, Dorothy, the Wizard, and the Cowardly Lion join forces to defend the Emerald City, and all of Oz, from a danger that grows closer every day. With characters both new and old--and the same passion for adventure that sparked the series two decades prior--L. Frank Baum's The Magic of Oz is a story that continues to astound so long as there are readers who will cherish it. Filled with rich, detailed layers of fantasy from the mind of L. Frank Baum, The Magic of Oz is a story about the frail innocence of childhood and the will to persevere that can be found in even the youngest of hearts. Long overshadowed by the film, Baum's series is required reading for children, adults with children, and adults who refuse to let life lose its flavor of fantasy. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of L. Frank Baum's The Magic of Oz is a classic of children's literature reimagined for modern readers.
