A collectable hardcover edition bringing together three of L. Frank Baums classic novels set in the world of Oz, as celebrated in the smashhit film adaptation of WickedThis fully annotated volume collects three of Baums fourteen Oz novels in which he developed his utopian vision and which garnered an immense and loyal following. The Wizard of Oz (1900) introduces Dorothy, who arrives from Kansas and meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion and a host of other characters. The Emerald City of Oz (1910) finds Dorothy, Aunt Em and Uncle Henry coming to Oz just as the wicked Nome King is plotting to conquer its people. In Baums final novel, Glinda of Oz (1920), Dorothy and Princess Ozma try to prevent a battle between the Skeezers and the Flatheads.Tapping into a deeply rooted desire to live in a peaceful country which values the sharing of talents and gifts, Baums imaginative creation, like all great utopian literature, holds out the possibility for change. Baums classics spawned many adaptations, including the 1939 Judy Garlandstarring classic film The Wizard of Oz and Gregory Maguires 1995 novel, Wicked The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. The latter was adapted into the secondhighest grossing Broadway musical of all time, Wicked, which is also phenomenally successful in Londons West End. Included in this edition are a selection of original illustrations by W. W. Denslow and John R. Neill, a jacketed hardcover, topstaining and coloured endpapers.
