Great Book of Oz

Lyman Frank Baum penned fourteen novels in his famous Oz chronology. These can be divided into two distinct sections: the First Chronicles of Oz, published between 1900 and 1910, ended when Oz was believed to be "e;cut off forever from all the rest of the world,"e; and the Second Chronicles of Oz, whose publication spanned the years 1913 through 1920, reconnected the Royal Historian of Oz to that lost land by means of "e;wireless telegraphy."e; Combined, the two halves form the Great Book of Oz. Within this single volume all fourteen novels and a half dozen short stories are presented in sequence, formatted not only for ease of reading, but to emulate the textual structure of that original publication.
