Peace, prosperity, and happiness are the rule in the marvelous Land of Oz, but in a faraway corner of this magical domain dwell two tribes--the Flatheads and the Skeezers--who have declared war on each other. Determined to keep her subjects from fighting, the Ruler of Oz, Princess Ozma, along with her dearest friend, Princess Dorothy Gale (formerly of Kansas), embarks on a quest to restore peace.When the Supreme Dictator of the Flatheads refuses to cooperate with Ozma, she and Dorothy seek out Queen Coo-ee-oh of the Skeezers, hoping she will be more reasonable. But the queen imprisons Ozma and Dorothy in her grand city and then traps them by submerging the whole city under water. Now it is up to Glinda the Good to save the day. She assembles all of Ozma's counsellors--including such beloved Oz friends as the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Cowardly Lion, Patchwork Girl, Shaggy Man, Tik-Tok, and Wizard of Oz--and they set out to rescue their friends. Will the magic powers of Glinda and the Wizard combined be enough to free Ozma and Dorothy?

This deluxe gift edition features all twelve of Oz artist John R. Neill's beautiful color plates, along with his nearly one hundred black-and-white pictures, making it a perfect gift for all Oz fans, new and old.

Criticize Appertaining To Books Glinda of Oz (Oz #14)

Glinda of Oz is the last book in the series that was actually written by the original author. Since it was published posthumously, it was the one book aside from the very first book in the series, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to have no author's note. That actually hit me hard because I know any continuation by another author will never be the same.During the time of writing, Baum was ill and it showed when his original manuscript actually depicted Reera the Red as a skeleton with red eyes. He

Two small nations of the Land of Oz declared war on each other. When Ozma learned about this she decided it is her duty as a ruler of all Oz to make peace between the nations. Off she went accompanied by Dorothy who wanted to tag along. Pretty soon it turned out the girls bit off much more than they can chew their magic trinkets and all. Magic heavyweights of the Land Glinda and the Wizard had to join the fun very soon.L. Frank Baum wrote the book being mortally ill. As such it was supposed

I havent read an Oz book since my Childrens Literature class back in my early college days. The Wizard of Oz really came to life when I realized that within that well-known childrens story was a political statement on bimetallism (ie. getting off the gold standard). Okay, I know that Baum denied it but, come on, silver slippers and yellow brick roademerald city (ie. greenbacks)! If it wasnt deliberately written to advocate bimetallism, its one of the happiest coincidences in literature. Anyway,

It's the final installment of Baum's original Oz series. We spend it with some of our favorite characters as they journey through the Land of Oz to meet new peoples, the likes of which we've never seen before.I like how this plot features a singular, tangible problem to solve. It's memorable too -- although for the big finale, I wish it was something a bit more all-inclusive. The oncoming fight between the Skeezers and Flatheads is actually kind of funny to watch it play out.My biggest complaint

I have a few things to say about this last Baum Oz book besides my usual, "This was really good," and "Can't believe it's almost 100 years old," and "Suck on that, Sponge Bob!"I feel like everyone has been looking in the wrong place for Baum's political and social commentary. Everyone I know of points to the original novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, as this commentary. I believe that they arrived 13 books too soon to the party.To start off with, people tend to say that this book is "darker"

(4.5, but for Oz's sake I'll err up instead of down.)I've read reviews that suggest that Glinda of Oz is the darkest, possibly because Baum knew he was dying at that point. I don't actually see explicit darkness, but I do think that there is an element of fear in this one that there isn't in the rest, that things might not actually turn out right. Of course, as an adult, it is clear to me that they're going to figure it out, but I remember as a kid liking Glinda of Oz less even while knowing
