This handsome, fully illustrated three-in-one omnibus gathers The Magic of Oz (1919), Glinda of Oz (1920), and The Little Wizard Stories of Oz (1913), featuring more than 250 of John R. Neill's original illustrations-beautifully reproduced in a volume designed to be treasured.
In The Magic of Oz, Ruggedo, the deposed Nome King, makes his boldest attempt yet to overthrow the peaceful realm. Slipping secretly into Oz with a Munchkin boy named Kiki Aru-who has mastered the most powerful magic word ever spoken-Ruggedo unleashes a spell so formidable that even the Wizard and Glinda do not know its secret. As enchantment spreads and danger mounts, Dorothy, Ozma, and their companions must unravel the mystery before Oz itself is transformed.
In Glinda of Oz, the final Oz book written by L. Frank Baum, Dorothy and Ozma journey to prevent war between the Flatheads and the Skeezers, only to become prisoners in a dazzling crystal-domed city that submerges beneath enchanted waters. Cut off from help and surrounded by peril, their fate rests in the hands of the Wizard and Glinda. Baum's last Oz novel blends wonder, invention, and quiet poignancy, bringing his great fairyland saga to a luminous close.
The Little Wizard Stories of Oz collects six delightful short adventures featuring Jack Pumpkinhead, the Cowardly Lion, the Hungry Tiger, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Wizard himself. After announcing his retirement from Oz, Baum was overwhelmed by letters from devoted young readers. In response, he returned with these charming tales-stories that deepen the personalities of Oz's most beloved figures while preserving the whimsy and warmth that made the series a classic.
Lavishly illustrated by John R. Neill-Baum's longtime artistic collaborator and later successor as author of the Oz books-this omnibus preserves the original text and artwork in a single substantial volume. A celebration of imagination, loyalty, and enchantment, it stands as both a collector's keepsake and a gateway into the enduring magic of Oz.
