Summary

L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz 'Äì Complete Collection: 16 Novels in One Premium Edition" explores the enchanting world of Oz through a series of richly woven narratives that blend fantasy, adventure, and moral allegory. The literary style showcases Baum's imaginative storytelling and childlike wonder, marked by whimsical prose and vibrant characterizations. Set against the backdrop of American socio-cultural dynamics in the early 20th century, the series invites readers to traverse a magical landscape filled with profound themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the quest for identity, capturing the zeitgeist of Baum's era while still resonating with contemporary audiences. Born in 1856, L. Frank Baum's upbringing in a family that valued creativity and storytelling undoubtedly influenced his literary voice. His experiences as a traveling salesman and playwright enriched his understanding of narrative structure while instilling a belief in the transformative power of happiness and imagination. Baum's commitment to children'Äôs literature, coupled with his desire to create tales that inspired and entertained, culminated in the beloved Oz series, which continues to spark the imagination of readers young and old. I highly recommend this collection to anyone intrigued by fantasy literature or seeking to revisit the foundational tales of childhood. Baum's engaging prose and the series' delightful illustrations offer a timeless journey that transcends age, providing both entertainment and insightful life lessons. Dive into the magical world of Oz and discover the enduring allure of Baum's extraordinary vision.

    This story of two girls trying to banish a witch is “full of wonderful fun, excitement, and humor” (Library Journal).   Old Witch likes nothing better than to fly around on her broomstick, crying “Heh-heh!” and casting abracadabras. But now she has been sent away . . . by two young girls.   Amy and Clarissa have decided that Old Witch is just too mean and wicked. So, drawing a rickety old house upon a barren glass hill, they exile Old Witch there with a warning: She better be good, or else no Halloween! But to give Old Witch some company, they draw her a Little Witch Girl and a Weeny Witch Baby . . .   Old Witch tries to be good, but anyone would get up to no good in a place as lonely as the glass hill. And Amy and Clarissa are about to find that out, when Old Witch magics them into her world of make-believe-made-real, in “a very special book that is certain to give boundless pleasure—at any time of the year” (The Horn Book).   “A classic for Halloween.” —Library Journal
