Books with title Oz: Ozma of Oz

* Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, Ozma of Oz is the third book in Baum's hugely successful Land of Oz series. It follows Dorothy's amazing adventures with fantastic characters after she is tossed overboard a steamship during a storm and washes up on the shore of the Land of Ev with a yellow chicken that talks to her.* Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's readers as it would have been when first published over a century ago, the book is one of the great works of American literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.* This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.

Children will delight in the further adventures of Dorothy and her friends as they revisit Oz. Frank Baum was a famous author of children’s books. He is best noted for his book The Wizard of Oz. Baum used several pen names when writing different series. Dorothy meets some new friends in Ozma of Oz. There is the Hungry Tiger, whose appetite is never satisfied; Princess Langwidere, who has thirty heads; Billina, a talking chicken; and Tiktok, a mechanical man. After being blown overboard sailing with her uncle, Dorothy finds herself in Ev. She sets out with her friends to rescue the Queen of Ev and her ten children. The Queen and her family are imprisoned by the cruel Nome King. When Ozma, the Ruler of Oz, cannot save the Queen it falls to Dorothy to rescue everyone from terrible danger.

Ozma of Oz: A Record of Her Adventures with Dorothy Gale of Kansas, Billina the Yellow Hen, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman, Tik-Tok, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger; Besides Other Good People Too Numerous to Mention Faithfully Recorded Herein published on July 30, 1907, was the third book of L. Frank Baum's Oz series. It was the first in which Baum was clearly intending a series of Oz books. It is the first Oz book where the majority of the action takes place outside of the Land of Oz. Only the final two chapters take place in Oz itself. This reflects a subtle change in theme: in the first book, Oz is the dangerous land through which Dorothy must win her way back to Kansas; in the third, Oz is the end and aim of the book. Dorothy's desire to return home is not as desperate as in the first book, and it is her uncle's need for her rather than hers for him that makes her return.

In route to an Australian vacation via a steamboat, Dorothy is accidentally tossed overboard with Billina, a yellow hen that was also on the ship. They wash ashore in the Land of Ev, where Billina has gained the ability to talk. The two, along with Tik-Tok, a mechanical man who runs on clockwork motors, run into trouble and are imprisoned by Princess Langwidere. Will Ozma and friends come to Dorothy’s rescue in time? And how will they get to the Land of Ev from Oz? And just how will Dorothy get home this time?

Readers of all ages will welcome the chance to be reunited with Dorothy Gale and such beloved characters as the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion, as well as to meet new favorites such as the Hungry Tiger, whose appetite is never satisfied; Princess Langwidere, who has thirty heads; Billina, a talking chicken; and Tiktok, a mechanical man. Blown overboard while sailing with her uncle, Dorothy finds herself in the fairy realm of Ev. She sets out with her friends to rescue the Queen of Ev and her ten children, who have been imprisoned by the cruel Nome King. But even Ozma, the wise Ruler of Oz, is no match for the clever king, and it's up to Dorothy to save everyone from terrible danger. But will the Nome King's enchantments be too much even for the plucky little girl from Kansas?

Third in series, preceded by The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and The Marvelous Land of Oz; and followed by Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, The Road to Oz, The Emerald City of Oz, and others. Dorothy is shipwrecked on the coast of Ev and befriends a mechanical man, Tiktok. When she learns the Queen of Ev and all her children have been captured by the evil Nome King, she decides to rescue them.
