This fully annotated volume collects three of Baum's 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 Baum's 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 in himself and his loyal readers to live in a peaceful country which values the sharing of talents and gifts, Baum's imaginative creation, like all great utopian literature, holds out the possibility for change. Also included is a selection of the original illustrations by W. W. Denslow and John R. Neill. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

One brisk winters day, seventeen year old Myriah Dawson is swept up from her favorite hangout and into a portal that transports her to the magical world of Magerei, a world plagued by discrimination, hatred, and evil sorcerers bent on destroying everything good and claiming Magerei for their own. Tasked by God to unite the prejudiced people against the sorcerers, she soon meets up with friends, both old and new, who will aid her in her quest, and she uncovers abilities she was unaware she possessed that will be vital to victory. But this quest will not be easy, and Myriah will find her path fraught with adversity. She will have to fight against intense bigotry, overcome heartbreaking betrayal, and witness horrible massacres if she wishes to succeed. Can Myriah end an age-old hatred in time to unite a hostile people in a holy cause? Can she let go of her own pride and trust solely on God for her victory? And what happens when she learns that the people she is fighting for may very well be her own? Will such knowledge prove to be for her benefit or for her destruction?

Yet it is difficult for an outsider to see these things from the point of view of both the persons concerned. To Maurice, scissors in hand, alive and earnest to snip, it seemed the most natural thing in the world to shorten the stiff whiskers of Lord Hugh Cecil by a generous inch. He did not understand how useful those whiskers were to Lord Hugh, both in sport and in the more serious business of getting a living. Also it amused Maurice to throw Lord Hugh into ponds, though Lord Hugh only once permitted this liberty. To put walnuts on Lord Hugh’s feet and then to watch him walk on ice was, in Maurice’s opinion, as good as a play. Lord Hugh was a very favourite cat, but Maurice was discreet, and Lord Hugh, except under violent suffering, was at that time anyhow, dumb...FROM THE BOOK.
