Ozma of Oz tells the story of Dorothy travelling to Oz again, and features the Wheelers, the 'Heads of Langwidere' and one of the best Oz baddies - the Nome King. This book formed a large part of the film 'Return to Oz'.
In my opinion, this is one of the best books of Baum's series - with a much better flow to it than some of the books which are more like a collection of strange worlds linked together. The final chapters of rescuing the royal family of Ev from the Nome King are excellently written and some of the most memorable adventures.

Ozma of OZ is a very well written book and to be able to find a re-printed edition with the original cover is an added bonus (especially if you are a collector like me). The book is very well set out with clear font and is nicley arranged on the page.
There are only two minor downfalls with this particular edition of the book:
1. There are no pictures in the book which I, personally, find a shame because the pictures are so wonderful and so original and in some places help you get a clearer mental image of what is being described.
2. At the end of chapter 2 the end of the word 'breakfast' is missed off aswell as the ending punctuation - this may just be me being pedantic about things but this may be useful to you!
Over all I would say this is a good book to buy if you look for the original cover and a well set out story but if you are just looking for the the pictures this might not be for you.

The best of a great series
23 Nov 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Though I first read this book nearly 50 years ago, it still remains one of the best books I have ever read. Adults may feel that it is a kid's book, and of course it is perfect for kids, but believe me, it can be enjoyed by people of any age. All you need is love of a good story. For many years Ozma was my heroine--I dreamed that I would meet her somehow, somehow be transported like Dorothy to the Land of Oz. Though these dreams faded, I still often think that this book might be the favorite book of my life. Dorothy's new adventures, the rescue expedition from Oz that crosses the Deadly Desert, and the spooky confrontation between good and evil in the caverns of the Nome King. The Oz characters have accompanied me through life. Try them---you will never forget them.

Lovely story, but...
25 July 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This title apparently has no images. None of the original great art of the novel. And that's a problem, because there's at least one place in the store where the narrative stops, and the reader is supposed to read from the image in the book. Then the story continues as if you've read the image. But this version has no images, and no replacing text. So there's a discontinuity in the story where the image should have been. The story itself is great, but this version really does suffer for not having the original art.

These books are awesome.

Format:Hardcover
I just love this books. So much imagination! I read this book back in first grade. I read a lot that year, and no book stuck in my mind like this one did. I have remembered the story for years, because it is so original. I recently checked it out in the library to re-read it, and it was every bit as good. I recommend this book to all ages, L. Frank is da Baum! :)
