The Origin of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Author: Michele Rubatino
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1450228003
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
The fantasyland of Oz continues to fascinate steadfast Oz fans. They sympathize with the tin woodsman in his need for a heart, the cowardly lion in his need for courage, and with Dorothy as she searches for a way to return home to Kansas. In The Origin of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, author Michele Rubatino reveals the mystery behind the evidence regarding the source of the maps found in Tik-Tok of Oz. Rubatino discusses the origin of the maps that Baum claims he discovered, rather than penned from his own imagination. The Origin of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz provides evidence to show the maps found in the Oz books, forty of them in all, were derived from drawing blueprints taken from the text of a King James Version Bible dating from around 1611. This information found by Baum formed the foundation for the creation of this fantasy series. Rubatino's discovery will help Oz enthusiasts, theologians, and all interested in the works of Baum to decipher the many facets he included in his stories. It will help fans gain a better perspective on the mysteries still to be found in the Bible and the Oz series.

AFTER TH'OZ: A COLLECTION OF MOSTLY FICTIONAL AFTER-THOUGHTS ON THE LAND OF OZ
Author: Ron Baxley, Jr.
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1365331768
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
This is fun, self-published Oz fan-fiction by awarded Oz author Ron Baxley, Jr. who wrote this fan-fic as after-thoughts or "After-Th'Oz" to his more established Oz and Oz/Wonderland works from Maple Creek Press. It includes a brand new Oz/Wonderland novella based on Ron's and James C. Wallace II's Of Cabbages/Oz/Wonderland series, three brand new short stories that take place after Ron's _The Oz Omnibus of Talking City Tales_ (Maple Creek Press 2014), one bonus of a non-fiction article on some Munchkin actors from Ron's home-town, and a super hero story based on them. It includes public domain images from classic Wonderland and Oz illustrators. Ron decided he should no longer have Oz as solely an after-thought. Perhaps his readership should too.
