Books with title The Emerald City of Oz

In The Emerald City of Oz, published in 1910, Dorothy Gale and her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em move to Oz permanently. John R. Neill provided the illustrations for the sixth Oz book, which Baum intended to be his last. The book begins with Uncle Henry deep in debt. Both uncle and aunt doubt Dorothy’s tales of her adventures, but Dorothy enlightens them by asking Ozma to transport them to the Emerald City using the magic belt she had captured from the Nome King. For the first time, Baum employs double plots. While Dorothy and her aunt and uncle tour the Quadling Country, the Nome King, Roquat, readies a massive army along with allied forces for invading the Land of Oz. Dorothy and her companions meet a variety of fascinating creatures, including living cutout paper dolls, talkative Rigmaroles, living kitchen utensils in Utensia, civilized rabbits of Bunnybury and more. Meanwhile, the Nome King plots revenge with his allies, the horrifying Whimsies and Growleywogs and the notoriously evil, Phanfasms.

The Emerald City of Oz is the sixth of L. Frank Baum's fourteen Land of Oz books. It was also adapted into a Canadian animated film in 1987. Originally published on July 20, 1910, it is the story of Dorothy Gale and her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em coming to live in Oz permanently. While they are toured through the Quadling Country, the Nome King is assembling allies for an invasion of Oz. This is the first time in the Oz series that Baum made use of double plots for one of the books. Baum had intended to cease writing Oz stories with this book, but financial pressures prompted him to write and publish The Patchwork Girl of Oz, with seven other Oz books to follow. The book was dedicated to "Her Royal Highness Cynthia II of Syracuse" — actually the daughter (born in the previous year, 1909) of the author's younger brother, Henry Clay "Harry" Baum.

This is the sixth book of the Oz series. Because of financial difficulties, Dorothy's Uncle Henry has lost his farm in Kansas, and so Dorothy decides to accept Ozma's oft-repeated invitation to live in Oz permanently. Ozma transports Uncle Henry and Aunt Em to the Emerald City, and they too become residents of this wonderful fairy-land. Just about this time, Ozma and her people are threatened by the wicked Nome King who attempts to invade Oz and destroy the land. All ends well, but Ozma decides that, to protect her country from any possible uninvited guests in the future, Oz should from this time on be invisible to all those who live outside its domain. This of course means that the Royal Historian of Oz will no longer be able to communicate with the inhabitants, and so no further stories of Oz will be possible.

In what was originally meant to be the final book in the Oz series, L. Frank Baum's sixth Oz entry regards Dorothy Gale and her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em coming to live permanently in the land of Oz, a journey which takes them through the Quadling Country and encountering the Nome King. A must-read for fans of the Oz books and an interesting look at how the series might very well have ended.

Lyman Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American author widely known for his children’s books. Baum was born Chittenango, New-York into a devout Methodiste family He had German, Scots-Irish, and English ancestry, and was the seventh of nine children of Cynthia Ann and Benjamin Ward Baum, only five of whom survived into adulthood. "Lyman" is the name of his father's brother, but he always disliked it and preferred his middle name "Frank". The Emerald City of Oz is the sixth of L. Frank Baum's fourteen Land of Oz books. At the beginning of this story, it is made quite clear that Dorothy Gale is in the habit of freely speaking of her many adventures in the Land of Oz to her only living relatives, her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. Neither of them believes a word of her stories, but consider her a dreamer, as her dead mother had been.
