Om denne e-bog
In this final sequel to the beloved classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum spins a wonderful tale of the exciting experiences of Princess Ozma of Oz and Dorothy in their hazardous journey to the home of the Flatheads and to the magic isle of Skeezers, and how they were rescued from dire peril by the sorcery of Glinda the Good witch.
The wicked Queen Coo-ee-oh, a vain and evil witch, was really to blame for all the trouble. She surely succeeded in getting everyone on the magic, glass-doomed island of the Skeezers into amazing difficulties. The exciting story tells how Glinda and the Wizard worked with all their might to save the Princess and Dorothy from the great dangers which threatened them when they went among the warring tribes of the Flatheads and Skeezers.
This is the last and one of the best tales about the merry old Land of Oz from author L. Frank Baum. Oz fans young and old will delight in this new, inexpensive edition, enhanced by all the wonderful original illustrations by John R. Neill.

Om forfatteren
Best known as the author of the Wizard of Oz series, Lyman Frank Baum was born on May 15, 1856, in New York. When Baum was a young man, his father, who had made a fortune in oil, gave him several theaters in New York and Pennsylvania to manage. Eventually, Baum had his first taste of success as a writer when he staged The Maid of Arran, a melodrama he had written and scored. Married in 1882 to Maud Gage, whose mother was an influential suffragette, the two had four sons. Baum often entertained his children with nursery rhymes and in 1897 published a compilation titled Mother Goose in Prose, which was illustrated by Maxfield Parrish. The project was followed by three other picture books of rhymes, illustrated by William Wallace Denslow. The success of the nursery rhymes persuaded Baum to craft a novel out of one of the stories, which he titled The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Some critics have suggested that Baum modeled the character of the Wizard on himself. Other books for children followed the original Oz book, and Baum continued to produce the popular Oz books until his death in 1919. The series was so popular that after Baum's death and by special arrangement, Oz books continued to be written for the series by other authors. Glinda of Oz, the last Oz book that Baum wrote, was published in 1920.
