Loading... Ozma of Oz (1907)by L. Frank Baum
None. This is a good book to read if you are interested in a further adventure with Dorothy. A few of the characters from The Marvelous Land of Oz are in there as well. I don't feel like the title was particularly appropriate for the story. I would have gone with The Lawless Land of Ev or Ev and the Nome King. Every character from book one made an appearance in this volume, though I wish Toto had come to Ev with Dorothy. I liked the hen, Bill, though I found it odd that she was able to talk after Toto wasn't able to speak in the first book. I though the whole talk when you are in a fairy land rule only applied to creatures that were from the fairy land. I would love to have a conversation with Toto. I would really like to know what he thought of being dragged all over Oz and in the company of a lion that nearly killed him upon meeting him.

Ozma, the sawhorse, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion and other familiar characters return. We also meet new characters such as Bellina the hen and Tic Tok. Dorothy is back for her second visit to Oz. There is, of course, action and adventures and lots of fun! The importance of friendship and loyalty are emphasized as always. The movie, "Return to Oz" is based on many of the adventures in this book with a few things from The Land of Oz. This one is another winner in the Oz series! (  ) Mrsbaty | Apr 17, 2013 | This book does not take place majorly in the land of Oz, but in the land of Ev which is over the deadly dangerous desert. The story is about Dorothy Gale, from the first book in the series, returning to the land of Oz through the land of Ev. The story has the same whimsical charm that the first two books have that make them children's classic books. Baum is able to create these fantastical creatures and you believe they could exist in these other worlds. In this case he created the Wheelers who roll around on wheels instead of having hands and feet. Baum takes simple ideas and breathes life into them. It is great to read his books and see what he was capable of creating. He lived in a time where they didn't seem to be as worried about violence and other things in their books so you can see a bit more depth and freedom in what he is writing which makes for a better children's story in my opinion. ( ) EricPatterson | Mar 30, 2013 | The second of the books used to make up the Return to Oz movie, this is the story dealing with the Gnome King and guessing at his beautiful trinkets. Baum, as always, describes the locations and situations with the grace of a master live storyteller, making up his creations before an audience that hangs on his every word. Baum is the true Wizard of Oz. There's no doubt about that. ( ) mirrani | Mar 10, 2013 | no reviews | add a review Is contained inThe Oz Chronicles, Volume 1 by L.
