Complete Stories of Oz
Complete Stories of Oz | L Frank Baum
10 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
When Uncle Henry and Aunt Em's grey, grim Kansas farmhouse was picked up by the great summer cyclone, a wondrous adventure had begun. The whole house whirled around two or three times then rose slowly through the air with little Dorothy and dog Toto inside. After what seemed an age to Dorothy the house landed with a great crash and upon opening the door she and Toto were amazed to see a beautiful brilliant green land full of sunshine and flowers. It is not long before she and Toto meet the motley crew - Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Woodman - who are to become her travelling companions along the Yellow Brick Road which leads to the Emerald City and the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Dorothy and Toto have many adventures before the Good Witch grants them their wish - to return home to Kansas. But that is just the beginning; many more adventures lie ahead, with the weirdest folk to meet and the most fantastical places to explore - all in the Land of Oz.

And the final volume in this amazing collection has the Skeezers castle which was magically submerged to the bottom of the lake in the second story in this book. This contains the last stories which are: The Magic Of Oz, Glinda Of Oz & finally, The Royal Book Of Oz. I can‘t wait to dive back into these stories with my granddaughter! #wehearheisawizofawiz #ifeverawiztherewas #taketheozexperienceyourself

Karkar All of these are so pretty! I think my favorite is the second one with the Emerald City in the background 6y
Lizpixie @Karkar it‘s so hard to choose! Mines a toss up between Vol2 & Vol5. But I also love the Hot Air Balloon on Vol1!🤔 6y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk These were all gorgeous! I just finished reading my #OzReread through the whole series. 6y

The cover of Volume1 of this hardcover box set of the Oz books by L.Frank.Baum is stunning! The colours in the hot air balloon are even more striking in person. I love how they‘ve taken inspiration from the “Wizards” escape & also have the elements of the yellow brick road with the Emerald City in the distance. This volume contains The Wizard Of Oz, The Marvelous Land Of Oz & Ozma Of Oz(which is one of my favourites) #followtheyellowbrickroad

#BookMail Pt3 And The last item in the box is this beautiful hardcover box set of all the Oz books. I‘ll be posting individual pictures of each book, they are gorgeous! I‘ve wanted my own set of Oz books since I was 7yrs old which makes it 40yrs of yearning. I bought these so my grand baby Sophie can read them & fall in love just like I did(but she‘ll be reading them here coz they ain‘t leaving the house!)👨‍🌾🤖🦁👸🏼👱🏻‍♀️🐶❤️🧠✊

Chrissyreadit Gorgeous! 6y

JazzFeathers Never known there were 5 books. 6y
Lizpixie @JazzFeathers there‘s actually 15 books. Each volume has 3 novels inside. And I read each of them at least 4 times as a child, it‘s what started my love of fantasy!👠👠 6y

In 2014 when we were expecting our first son I decided I wanted to revisit the Oz books which I had loved as much as Narnia and Middle-earth as a kid.

I was surprised at how many scenes and characters I remembered but what used to be exciting adventures to 2nd-3rd grade me were now just goofy low-stakes fun.

I love Oz now for it‘s make-it-up-as-you-go weirdness, although this style made for some lousy endings. Deus ex Dorothy indeed.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Here ends my great and powerful #OzReread! Top 5: Rinkitink in Oz, The Lost Princess of Oz, The Scarecrow of Oz, The Patchwork Girl of Oz, The Magic of Oz - Favorite Character: Button Bright, the little boy who always gets lost, I found his “whatever” attitude to all the magical goings on immensely endearing 6y
