The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has been translated into more than forty languages, and of course, served as the basis for one of history's most popular films, The Wizard of Oz, first released in 1939. Ozma of Oz is the third "Oz" book, published in 1907. In this story, Dorothy is shipwrecked in a wondrous land on her way to Australia. The land is not Oz, however, but another magical land that has a perilous Deadly Desert and also many marvelous things. Ozma of Oz introduces wonderful new characters like Tik-Tok the wind-up man, and the Hungry Tiger -- yet another adventurous delight.

About the Author
Baum, L. Frank: - "Lyman Frank Baum (1856 - 1919), better known by his pen name L. Frank Baum, was an American author chiefly known for his children's books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels, and a host of other works (55 novels in total, plus four lost works, 83 short stories, over 200 poems, an unknown number of scripts and many miscellaneous writings). His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work)."
