About the book

First published in 1907, "Ozma of Oz" is the third book in L. Frank Baum’s Oz series. Dorothy’s story is continued with her beloved companions and given further life with inventive new characters, including a talking yellow hen named Billina; Tiktok, a mechanical man; and the Hungry Tiger, whose conscience prevents him from being the fearsome man-eating tiger he sometimes wishes to be. The tale begins with Dorothy being tossed from a steamship during a storm and finding herself far away from home and Oz. She lands in the kingdom of Ev, where she becomes involved in a journey to the palace of the evil Nome King to rescue the Queen of Ev and her children. From dodging the unfriendly Wheelers to playing dangerous guessing games, Dorothy must overcome many obstacles to help the helpless royal family and reach a happy ending back in Oz. "Ozma of Oz" is a worthy addition to a collection of stories that have delighted children for over a century. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

If you've seen the 1985 movie Return to Oz you will no doubt recognise elements of this book. While the Gump and Pumpkin Head were pulled from The Marvelous Land of Oz (the previous Oz book.) Pretty much the rest of the movie was taken from this book. Ozma of Oz configure the perfectly peculiar style from the first two. As I suspected would be the case, also starts to tie loose ends together from the previous works so it definitely starts feeling like the series is one cohesive whole. Because so much of it was familiar from the movie it's hard for me to evaluate the book on its own merits. This is diffent from other adaptations because it wasn't a diet adaptation, so it's impossible to say "Movie did X better while book did Y better." and unlike WWoO the story isn't an institution. Ultimately it was an enjoyable entry.
