Summary

In "The Hungry Tiger of Oz," Ruth Plumly Thompson enchants readers with a whimsical narrative that revisits L. Frank Baum's beloved Oz universe. Through a blend of lush, descriptive prose and playful dialogue, Thompson explores themes of friendship and identity while introducing a cast of delightful new characters, most notably the titular Hungry Tiger. Set against the backdrop of the vibrant and fantastical land of Oz, this novel captivates the imagination with its inventive storytelling, interspersed with humor and moral lessons that reflect the author's deep understanding of the genre's legacy. Thompson's updated approach continues to engage both young and adult readers, evoking the charm of earlier Oz tales while proclaiming her own literary voice. Ruth Plumly Thompson was the first author to succeed Baum in continuing the Oz series, taking on the mantle with her unique perspective and flair. Having studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and held various occupations, including a brief stint as a poet and illustrator, Thompson's creativity flourished in her connection to the Oz narrative. This rich background allowed her to infuse her storytelling with both inventiveness and authenticity, making the expansive world of Oz accessible to a new generation. "The Hungry Tiger of Oz" is a delightful addition to the canon and is highly recommended for readers of all ages. It brilliantly captures the essence of escapism and wonder that defines the Oz series while offering fresh insights and engaging adventures. Thompson's masterful storytelling invites both new readers and long-time fans to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of Oz once more.

    The City of Singing Flame by Clark Ashton Smith - In the city of strange wonders, the lure of the flame drew them on and on… destruction loomed ahead… 
Clark Ashton Smith was born in California in 1893. He was an insatiable reader with a photographic memory. He read an unabridged dictionary word for word, studying the definitions of the words and their origins. He read the complete 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica at least twice. 
He started writing at 11. By 14 he had written a short adventure novel titled The Black Diamonds which was lost for decades until was published in 2002 more than 41 years after his death. 
Smith was poor most of his life and often did manual labor jobs like fruit picking and woodcutting to provide for himself and his parents. To say he was a prolific writer of horror and science fiction would be a huge understatement. Between 1929 and 1934 he wrote more than a hundred short stories. He began corresponding with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft and the three of them became friends although they never met. 
Clark Ashton Smith was praised by his peers, H. P. Lovecraft said, “in sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, Clark Ashton Smith is perhaps unexcelled” and Ray Bradbury said that Smith, “filled my mind with incredible worlds, impossibly beautiful cities, and still more fantastic creatures”. You are about to discover what Lovecraft and Bradbury were talking about.
