Ozma of Oz

An Apple Books Classic edition.

The book that transformed Oz from a one-off American fairy tale into a living world of wonders, Ozma of Oz shows L. Frank Baum at his most inventive. Dorothy Gale returns for a new adventure that begins with a shipwreck and leads to a kingdom ruled by a princess who changes her head like a piece of jewelry and a king who hides his captives inside decorative ornaments.

Joined by a talking hen and a clockwork man, Dorothy faces riddles and danger with her usual curiosity and courage. Blending surreal humor and strange magic, Ozma of Oz stands easily on its own while deepening the spell of Baum’s extraordinary world.
