Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enchanted Rocking Chair touches many hearts as it travels throughout many parts of the world. As you travel through the pages that give birth to this wonderful chair and as you meet the sweet and generous children that possess it for a limited time, it will touch your heart as well. The chair is born into a troubled world of war and pain, yet it manages to bring a measure of hope and happiness to all the families that come in contact with it, and they in turn affect the lives of the people they meet. It receives its enchantment from the cloak of a tiny man whose life is saved by a kind and generous grandfather who lives in a small village in France. In appreciation for the kindness of the old French gentleman, he leaves his bright red cloak to be used as the seat of the rocking chair, and that gift endows the chair with the gift of magic. Destined to stay only a short time with each child, it changes their lives and the lives they affect for all time. The love they show others is partly captured by the chair, and it becomes even stronger as it travels the world. But there is a dark side to the magic of the chair. Dark forces object to the use of magic by mortals and cause pain to humans as well as to the magic folk. You will laugh and perhaps cry as you read these stories to your children or to yourself. You and they will learn that you don't have to believe in magic to have it touch your heart. You will not put this book down, nor will your children allow you to do so until you read the last word of the last chapter, and even then, you will want to know where it will go from there. The Enchanted Rocking Chair will enchant your life.

Book excerpt: “A totally captivating, hilarious, and clever look on the magical kingdom of Manhattan, where kissing frogs has never been this fun.”—Melissa de la Cruz, author of The Au Pairs Katie Chandler had always heard that New York is a weird and wonderful place, but this small-town Texas gal had no idea how weird until she moved there. Everywhere she goes, she sees something worth gawking at and Katie is afraid she’s a little too normal to make a splash in the big city. Working for an ogre of a boss doesn’t help. Then, seemingly out of the blue, Katie gets a job offer from Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., a company that tricks of the trade to the magic community. For MSI, Katie’s ordinariness is an asset. Lacking any bit of magic, she can easily spot a fake spell, catch hidden clauses in competitor’s contracts, and detect magically disguised intruders. Suddenly, average Katie is very special indeed. She quickly learns that office politics are even more complicated when your new boss is a real ogre, and you have a crush on the sexy, shy, ultra powerful head of the R&D department, who is so busy fighting an evil competitor threatening to sell black magic on the street that he seems barely to notice Katie. Now it’s up to Katie to pull off the impossible: save the world and–hopefully–live happily ever after.

Download or read book The Real Wizard of Oz written by Rebecca Loncraine and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first major literary biography of L. Frank Baum, Rebecca Loncraine tells the story of Oz as you've never heard it, with a look behind the curtain at the vivid life and eccentric imagination of its creator. L. Frank Baum wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1899 and it was first published in 1900. A runaway hit, it was soon recognized as America's first modern fairy tale. Baum's life story, like the fictional world he created, is uniquely American, rooted in the transforming historical changes of his times. Baum was a complex and eccentric man who could never stay put for long; his restless creative spirit and voracious appetite for new projects led him across the U.S. during his lifetime, and he drew energy and inspiration from each new dramatic landscape he encountered,. Born in 1856, Baum spent his youth in the Finger Lakes region of New York as amputee soldiers returned from the Civil War; childhood mortality was also commonplace, blurring the lines between the living and the dead, and making room in Baum's young imagination for vividly real ghosts. When Baum was growing up, P. T. Barnum ruled the minds of small towns and his traveling circus was the most famous act around. Baum married a headstrong young woman named Maud Gage and they ventured out west to Dakota Territory, where they faced violent tornadoes, Ghost Dancing tribes and desperate droughts, before trading the hardships on the Great Plains for the excitement of Chicago and the fantastical White City of the World's Fair. Baum's writing tapped into an inner world that blurred his own sense of reality and fantasy. The Land of Oz, which Baum believed he had "discovered" rather than invented, grew into something far bigger and more popular than he'd ever imagined. After the roaring success of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900, he became a kind of slave to his creation, trapped inside Oz as his army of demanding child fans kept sending him back there to create new adventures for Dorothy, Toto and the humbug wizard. He went on to write thirteen sequels to his first Oz book. He also wrote the first Broadway adaptations of his Oz tales, and turned his Oz books into some of the first motion pictures in a small and undiscovered rural settlement called "Hollywood". Baum co-founded the Oz Film Manufacturing Company, even as critics warned that no one would pay to see a children's story. And they were right- his early ventures were box office flops and the world was not ready for Oz on screen until 1939, when MGM released "The Wizard of Oz" in brilliant Technicolor. Baum was not around to see it-he'd died in bed in 1919 just weeks after completing his final Oz book. But the book and film alike have become classics, just as well-loved today as they were when they first appeared. The Real Wizard of Oz is an imaginatively written work that stretches the genre of biography and enriches our understanding of modern fairytales. L. Frank Baum, author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its thirteen sequels, lived during eventful times in American history-- from 1856 to 1919-- that influenced nearly every aspect of his writing, from the Civil War to Hollywood, which was emerging as a modern Emerald City full of broken dreams and humbug wizards, to the gulf between America's prairie heartland, with its wild tornadoes, and its cities teeming with "Tin Man" factory workers. This is a colorful portrait of one man's vivid and eccentric imagination and the world that shaped it. Baum's famous fairytale is filled with the pain of the economic uncertainties of the Gilded Age and with a yearning for real change, ideas which many contemporary Americans will recognize. The Wizard of Oz continues to fascinate and influence us because it explores universal themes of longing for a better world, homesickness and finding inner strength amid the storms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frank Baum's treasured tale of the travels of Dorothy to the Land of Oz, where “anything’s possible if you just believe.” We all know the story of Dorothy and her adventures with Scarecrow, Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and Witches… good and bad. However, how many of us know what happened to her when she returned home to Kansas? What did she do with her life? Did she have a family? Oz: The Final Journey gives us insight into what became of Dorothy. It is an enigmatic story of faith in oneself and others that there is a strong correlation between dreams and reality. Generation by generation, join those who may have started the journey as “non-believers” and see what their thoughts are at the end of the epic trek to Oz, a land of fantasy and wonder. But, no matter what their experiences, there seems to be a single conclusion… “There’s no place like home.”
