The Magic of Oz

A lowly Munchkin with a forbidden gift joins forces with an exiled king in order to conquer the land of Oz. In The Magic of Oz, the penultimate installment of L. Frank Baum’s classic series, the reader returns once more to a land of wonder that is as much an escape as it is a reflection of the world we live in.

About the author

L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American author of children’s literature and pioneer of fantasy fiction. He demonstrated an active imagination and a skill for writing from a young age, and was encouraged by his father who bought him the printing press with which he began to publish several journals. Although he had a lifelong passion for theater, Baum found success with his novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), a self-described “modernized fairy tale” that led to thirteen sequels, inspired several stage and radio adaptations, and eventually, in 1939, was immortalized in the classic film starring Judy Garland.
