Little Wizard Stories of Oz
by L. Frank Baum Martin Gardner John R. NeillAfter concluding the fourteenth volume of his popular series, L. Frank Baum returned to the land of Oz in 1914 with six short stories featuring Dorothy, Toto, and other beloved characters. Written for slightly younger readers, these hard-to-find tales offer a fine introduction to Baum's enchanted world.Featured stories include "The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger," "Little Dorothy and Toto," "Tiktok and the Nome King," "Ozma and the Little Wizard," "Jack Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse," and "The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman." This facsimile edition re-creates the charm of the original, including its distinctive blue type and more than 40 full-color illustrations.
Little Wizard Stories of Oz
by L. Frank BaumA delightful collection of Oz stories with younger readers in mind. Peter Glassman writes of this book: "Many of the most wonderful attributes of Baum's best characters are allowed to fully shine here in these stories. IN the "The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger," we get to see once and for all what humbugs these giant felines are. And though the Scarecrow may have sharp brains and the Tin Woodman may be bright (especially when well polished), Baum makes it very clear in their story that it is their friendship and love for each other that makes these two gentlemen so appealing. Humor is also at a high pitch in these fast paced gems. In addition to the delightful turn about of the boasting Lion and Tiger and the slapstick antics of the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman, there is the hilarious sight of the ill tempered Nome King running in terror from what he believes to be the ghost of Tiktok a mechanical man who was never alive in the first place and of course the very names of those three nasty imps - Olite, Udent and Ertinent - that the Wizard and Ozma have to contend with in their tale are enough to bring a smile to the face of even the most stoic individual. As in all good collections of fairy tales, and that is the Little Wizard Stories are - there are moments of suspense and danger. The Sawhorse's flight through the forest to escape the angry squirrels, with a headless Jack Pumpkinhead and the two rescued children, is guaranteed to send your hearts racing and when Dorothy breaks all those dishes at crinklink's house, a shiver of fear for her safety is keenly felt by all." This file should make an excellent embossed braille copy. But unlike the darker fairy tales of Grimm and Perraut, in Baum's Oz fairy tales the danger quickly passes and every thing is put to rights. True to his introduction in the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Baum has avoided any truly "disagreeable incidents' or 'horrible and blood curdling' moments in these stories.
Little Wizard Stories of Oz

This lavishly illustrated edition has more than forty of John R. Neill's whimsical drawings.

The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is added digitally.The beautiful Meg, artistic tomboy Jo, doomed Beth, and selfish Amy: since the publication of Little Women in 1869, these four sisters have become America’s most beloved literary siblings.
