First published in 1909, L. Frank Baum's "The Road to Oz" is the fifth story by Baum of the magical Land of Oz and is the Dorothy's fourth visit to this special place. Baum takes the young Kansas girl and her faithful dog Toto on a circuitous journey to Oz for Princess Ozma's birthday. Dorothy begins her adventure trying to help a stranger, the Shaggy Man, find the road he seeks. They are joined on their way by a perpetually lost boy named Button Bright and a fairy called Polychrome, the daughter of a Rainbow. Through a series of encounters with foxes, donkeys, and other characters, both new and familiar, the group braves the Deadly Desert to reach the Emerald City for the royal birthday celebration. "The Road to Oz" continues Baum's tradition of charming and entertaining stories in a tale that ultimately takes its characters where they wish to go, but not always by the expected path. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
Autorenporträt
Lyman Frank Baum (1856 - 1919) was an American author chiefly known for his children's books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels and a host of other works (55 novels in total, plus four "lost works", 83 short stories, over 200 poems, an unknown number of scripts and many miscellaneous writings) His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country) and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).
