The Law of Oz


Book Description

Who was the legendary Queen Lurline? How and why did she enchant the Land of Oz long ago in the forgotten past?

On their journey, they encounter old villains and discover magic-wielding Yookoohoos, a mysterious hidden land, and the dark history of the Phanfasms. Momentous changes and astonishing revelations alter the lives our boyish heroes, which ultimately pit them against the law of Oz itself.

Travel through time into the days of Oz's first enchantment and the fairylands beyond OZ!




The Characters of Oz


Book Description

When L. Frank Baum wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, he created an American myth that has endured the test of time. Echoes of Dorothy and her friends are everywhere: popular television shows often have an Oz episode, novelists borrow character types and echo familiar scenes, and every media--from Broadway to The Muppets--has some variation or continuation of Baum's work. This collection of essays follows Baum's archetypal characters as they've changed over time in order to examine what those changes mean in relation to Oz, American culture and basic human truths. Essays also serve as a bridge between academia and fandom, with contributors representing a cross-section of Oz scholarship from backgrounds including The International Wizard of Oz Club and the Children's Literature Association.

Book Description

In the twelfth Oz story, the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow meet Woot, a Gillikin boy. The Woodman tells him how the Wicked Witch of the East (punishing him for falling in love with her ward, Nimmie Amee) enchanted his axe, which then compelled him to chop off every part of his body. The tinsmith Ku-Klip replaced them with body parts fashioned from tin. Lacking a heart, the Woodman left her. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy and the Scarecrow found him in the woods; when they reached the Emerald City, the Wizard gave him a new heart. Encouraged by Woot and accompanied by him, the Scarecrow and Polychrome, the Rainbow's daughter, the Woodman travels to the Munchkin Country to look for her.
