Sinossi

In "The Complete Wizard of Oz Collection," L. Frank Baum weaves a rich tapestry of adventure, whimsy, and philosophical exploration across his beloved Oz series. Spanning fourteen novels, this collection invites readers into a vividly imagined world filled with captivating characters, including the iconic Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman. Baum's imaginative storytelling is complemented by his distinctive literary style, featuring playful language and inventive plots that challenge conventional narratives. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, these tales reflect the era's burgeoning interest in fantasy literature while also addressing themes of friendship, courage, and self-discovery. L. Frank Baum was an influential American author, often hailed as the father of American fantasy literature. His background in theater and journalism imbued his writing with striking visual elements and a sense of dialogue that resonates even today. Baum's formative experiences, including his encounters with vaudeville and his interest in children's literature, fueled his desire to create an expansive and enchanting universe that transcended the limitations of the contemporary literary market. This collection is a must-read for fans of fantasy and children's literature alike, offering a nostalgia-tinged journey through a world that has shaped generations of readers. It serves not only as entertainment but also as a profound exploration of the human experience, making it a timeless addition to any literary collection.

    ...And It Comes Out Here by Lester Del Ray - There is one fact no sane man can quarrel with ... everything has a beginning and an end. But some men aren't sane; thus it isn't always so! 
    No, you're wrong. I'm not your father's ghost, even if I do look a bit like him. But it's a longish story, and you might as well let me in. You will, you know, so why quibble about it? At least, you always have ... or do ... or will. I don't know, verbs get all mixed up. We don't have the right attitude toward tenses for a situation like this. 
    Anyhow, you'll let me in. I did, so you will. 
    Thanks. You think you're crazy, of course, but you'll find out you aren't. It's just that things are a bit confused. And don't look at the machine out there too long—until you get used to it, you'll find it's hard on the eyes, trying to follow where the vanes go. You'll get used to it, of course, but it will take about thirty years. 
    You're wondering whether to give me a drink, as I remember it. Why not? And naturally, since we have the same tastes, you can make the same for me as you're having. Of course we have the same tastes—we're the same person. I'm you thirty years from now, or you're me. I remember just how you feel; I felt the same way when he—that is, of course, I or we—came back to tell me about it, thirty years ago. 
    Here, have one of these. You'll get to like them in a couple more years. And you can look at the revenue stamp date, if you still doubt my story. You'll believe it eventually, though, so it doesn't matter. 
    Right now, you're shocked. It's a real wrench when a man meets himself for the first time. Some kind of telepathy seems to work between two of the same people. You sense things. So I'll simply go ahead talking for half an hour or so, until you get over it. After that you'll come along with me.

    "Hello, I'm the earthworm, and today I'm giving my talk about the anaconda." 
      
    Who needs another book by humans? All they do is make us animals super boring. They only look at things through their own eyes. Every, single, time. Human after human. Kid after kid. Class after class. YAWN! 
      
    This is a book of oral presentations given by us animals, for us animals, and about us animals. The cleaner fish will talk about his friend the shark and his sharp teeth. The zebra will get to tell you about all the black-and-white animals in the world. The mole knows everything there is to know about the daddy long-legs. The southern cassowa—yes, fox? What is it? Yes, you'll get to talk about geese. Huh? Yes, you'll get to talk about how delicious they are. 
      
    Anyway, we're giving you twenty presentations from another twenty of us, but there's a lot more crammed in. Check it all out! 
      
    "The dread (or excitement) of a class presentation isn’t exclusive to young humans, as evidenced in this humorous all-dialogue collection ... Irreverent text nails the mood of a classroom discussion in free fall … to the comedic chaos."—Publishers Weekly (starred)

    A timeless classic that will enchant readers who love Jennifer L. Holm and Thanhhà Lại, about an immigrant girl inspired by the sport she loves to find her own home team—and to break down any barriers that stand in her way.  
     
    Shirley Temple Wong sails from China to America with a heart full of dreams. Her new home is Brooklyn, New York. America is indeed a land full of wonders, but Shirley doesn't know any English, so it's hard to make friends.  
    Then a miracle happens: baseball! It's 1947, and Jackie Robinson, star of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is a superstar. Suddenly Shirley is playing stickball with her class and following Jackie as he leads the Brooklyn Dodgers to victory after victory. 
    With her hero smashing assumptions and records on the ball field, Shirley begins to feel that America is truly the land of opportunity—and perhaps has also become her real home.
