About All of the Oz Books
"The Land Oz," and met the Scarecrow (who then was King of the Emerald City} and the Tin Woodman. In this book first appeared Ozma, the lovely little girl Princess, who became the real Queen of all of the Fairyland of Oz.
"Ozma of Oz" followed, and Dorothy, the Scarecrow and the the Woodman had some wonderful adventures. In this book the children first met the Cowardly Lion, the Hungry Tiger, the bad old Nome King and Billina, the Yellow Hen. "Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz," the next Oz book, is brim-full of the tricks of the jolly little Wizard of Oz, but when the Wizard's tricks fail Princess Ozma uses her Magic Belt to save the situation. In "The Road to Oz" Dorothy meets Button Bright and the funny Shaggy Man and there are adventures a'plenty.
In "The Emerald City of Oz" the wicked old Nome King and his terrible allies menace the Kingdom of Oz with dire disaster, but Glinda the Good—lovely Sorceress of Oz—works a magic spell, and Nome King is forced to send his army home without doing any harm Oz folks. "The Patchwork Girl Oz" is a great favorite and Mr. Neill, "the Royal Painter of Oz," has made many funny pictures of her in the Oz book named after her. Scraps and the Glass
