Oz: Collection by L. Frank Baum
4.0
I love fairy tales, and The Wizard of Oz is one of the most known due to the popularity of the 1939 film with Judy Garland. What most people do not know or realize is that L. Frank Baum wrote 14 books in total all set in the wonderful land of Oz. A few other writers including Baum's great grandson, have also written books about the many varied characters in Oz, continuing the series. This collection, which is free on Amazon Kindle, contains the 14 books written by Baum, and the first book written by Ruth Plumly Thompson, the first writer to continue the Oz series.
I gave the book 4/5 stars, because it included the 15th book "The Royal Book of Oz" by Thompson. I thought Thompson, inn trying to imitate Baum's style, made the book a bit heavier, and at times tiring to read. She should have used her own style.
The 14 books by Baum are an absolute delight of a fairy tale. Easy to read, lovely strange characters, tales that every child will love and adore. (and that includes big children... )
Read these tales to your children, and love Dorothy and the Wizard, the Scarecrow and Scraps, Glinda and the Tin Man, Ozma and Sawhorse, The Glass Cat, Eureka, Toby, The Cowardly Lion,, the Hungry Tiger...
