List of Oz books - wikipedia List of Oz books The Oz books form a book series that begins with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ( 1900 ) and relate the fictional history of the Land of Oz. Oz was created by author L. Frank Baum, who went on to write fourteen full - length Oz books. All of the Baum written books are in the public domain in the United States. Even while he was alive, Baum was styled as `` the Royal Historian of Oz '' to emphasize the concept that Oz is an actual place. The illusion created was that characters such as Dorothy and Princess Ozma related their adventures in Oz to Baum themselves, by means of wireless telegraph.

Hill Company A little farm girl named Dorothy and her pet dog, Toto, get swept away into the Land of Oz by a Kansas cyclone. Upon her arrival, she is hailed as a sorceress, liberates a living Scarecrow, meets a man made entirely of tin, and a Cowardly Lion. But all Dorothy really wants to know is how does she get home again. The ruler of Oz, the great Wizard, who resides in an Emerald City, may be the only one powerful enough to help her. ( Also reprinted by various publishers under the names The New Wizard of Oz and The Wizard of Oz with occasional minor changes in the text. It was originally written as a one - shot book ). The Marvelous Land of Oz John R. Neill 1904 Reilly & Britton A little boy, Tip, escapes from his evil guardian, the witch Mombi, with the help of a walking wooden figure with a jack - o ' - lantern head named Jack Pumpkinhead ( brought to life with the magic Powder of Life Tip stole from Mombi ), as well as a living Sawhorse ( created from the same powder ). Tip ends up on an adventure with the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman to help Scarecrow to recapture his throne from General Jinjur 's army of girls. Ozma of Oz John R. Neill 1907 Reilly & Britton While traveling to Australia with her Uncle Henry, Dorothy is swept overboard with a hen named Billina. They land in Ev, a country across the desert from Oz, and, together with new - found mechanical friend Tik - Tok, they must save Ev 's royal family from the evil Nome King. With Princess Ozma 's help, they finally return to Oz. Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz John R. Neill 1908 Reilly & Britton On her way back from Australia, Dorothy visits her cousin, Zeb, in California. They are soon swallowed up by an earthquake, along with Zeb 's horse Jim and Dorothy 's cat Eureka. The group soon meets up with the Wizard and all travel underground back to Oz. 5 The Road to Oz John R. Neill 1909 Reilly & Britton Dorothy meets the Shaggy Man, and while trying to find the road to Butterfield, they get lost on an enchanted road. As they travel they meet the rainbow 's daughter, Polychrome, and a little boy, Button - Bright. They have all sorts of strange adventures on the way to Oz. 6 The Emerald City of Oz John R. Neill 1910 Reilly & Britton Dorothy Gale and her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em come to live in Oz permanently. While they tour through the Quadling Country, the Nome King is tunneling beneath the desert to invade Oz. This was originally intended to be the last book in the series. 7 The Patchwork Girl of Oz John R. Neill 1913 Reilly & Britton A Munchkin boy named Ojo must find a cure to free his Uncle Nunkie from a magical spell that has turned him into a statue. With the help of Scraps, an anthropomorphic patchwork doll, Ojo journeys through Oz to save his uncle. 8 Tik - Tok of Oz John R. Neill 1914 Reilly & Britton Betsy Bobbin, a girl from Oklahoma, is shipwrecked with her mule, Hank, in the Rose Kingdom of Oz. She meets the Shaggy Man there and the two try to rescue the Shaggy Man 's brother from the Nome King. This book is partly based upon Baum 's stage musical, The Tik - Tok Man of Oz, which was in turn based on Ozma of Oz. 9 The Scarecrow of Oz John R. Neill 1915 Reilly & Britton Cap'n Bill and Trot journey to Oz and, with the help of the Scarecrow, the former ruler of Oz, overthrow the villainous King Krewl of Jinxland. Cap'n Bill and Trot had previously appeared in two other novels by Baum, The Sea Fairies and Sky Island. Based in part upon the 1914 silent film, His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz. This was allegedly L. Frank Baum 's personal favourite Oz book. 10 Rinkitink in Oz John R. Neill 1916 Reilly & Britton Prince Inga of Pingaree and King Rinkitink and their companions have adventures that lead to the land of the Nomes and, eventually, Oz. Baum originally wrote this book as a non-Oz book entitled King Rinkitink. 11 The Lost Princess of Oz John R. Neill 1917 Reilly & Britton When Princess Ozma mysteriously disappears, four search parties are sent out, one for each of Oz 's four countries. Most of the book covers Dorothy and the Wizard 's efforts to find her. Meanwhile, Cayke the Cookie Chef discovers that her magic dishpan ( on which she bakes her famous cookies ) has been stolen. Along with the Frogman, they leave their mountain in Winkie Country to find the pan. 12 The Tin Woodman of Oz John R. Neill 1918 Reilly & Lee The Tin Woodman, whose real name is Nick Chopper, is unexpectedly reunited with the Munchkin Girl he had courted before he became a tin man. Sadly, she has a new love and no longer cares for him. As he attempts to regain her affection, Nick discovers a fellow tin man, Captain Fyter, as well as a Frankenstein monster - like creature, Chopfyt, made from their combined parts by the tinsmith, Ku - Klip. 13 The Magic of Oz John R. Neill 1919 Reilly & Lee Ruggedo, former Nome King, tries to conquer Oz again with the help of a Munchkin boy, Kiki Aru. Meanwhile, it is also Ozma 's birthday, and all of Oz 's citizens are searching for the most unusual present for the little princess. This was published a month after Baum 's death. 14 Glinda of Oz John R. Neill 1920 Reilly & Lee Dorothy, Ozma and Glinda try to stop a war in the Gillikin Country. This was Baum 's last Oz book, and was published posthumously. This book contains a dark scene ( in the house of Red Reera ), most likely due to Baum 's failing health. There have been many other Oz books released since, although not written by Baum. Additional books by Baum The Wonderful Wizard of Oz L. Frank Baum N / A unpublished ; written 1901 -- A stage play closely based on the novel, featuring songs with music by Paul Tietjens. The Wizard of Oz L. Frank Baum N / A unpublished ; written and premiered in 1902 -- A stage extravaganza loosely based on the novel, with jokes written by Glen MacDonough, featuring songs by Baum and Paul Tietjens and many other interpolated as the show progressed. It opened in Chicago in 1902, starring the comedy team of David Montgomery and Fred Stone as the Tin Woodman ( who was also known in the show as Niccolo Chopper ) and the Scarecrow, respectively. The production moved to Broadway in 1903, and continued ( on tour or in New York ) until 1909. Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz L. Frank Baum Walt McDougal 1904 -- 1905 -- Newspaper comic / column chronicling the misadventures of the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Woggle - Bug, Jack Pumpkinhead, the Sawhorse, and the Gump in the United States. Originally used to promote The Marvelous Land of Oz. Often republished in book form, first in a heavily revised edition by Jean Kellogg as The Visitors from Oz and later as The Third Book of Oz by Buckethead Enterprises of Oz, which was censored. The Third Book of Oz also includes `` The Woggle - Bug Book '' ( see below ) and is illustrated by Eric Shanower. Hungry Tiger Press corrected the censoring from the Buckethead edition but used The Visitors from Oz as the title like the Kellogg adaptation. Complete series can be read online. The Woggle - Bug Book : The Strange Adventure of the Woggle - Bug L. Frank Baum Ike Morgan 1905 Reilly & Britton Further adventures of the Woggle - Bug in the USA after he gets separated from the others. The text is included in The Third Book of Oz and the Hungry Tiger Press The Visitors from Oz. The book can be read online. The Woggle - Bug L. Frank Baum N / A N / A ; written 1905 N / A A stage musical based on The Marvelous Land of Oz, with music by Frederic Chapin. Reviews praised only Chapin and the show never opened on Broadway. The Rainbow 's Daughter, or The Magnet of Love L. Frank Baum N / A N / A ; written 1909 N / A A stage musical, music by Manuel Klein, based on Ozma of Oz and The Road to Oz. Never produced.

The connection to Oz is reported as minimal. Held in the L. Frank Baum Papers at Syracuse University ; later adapted for radio as The Girl of Tomorrow by Frank Joslyn Baum. Little Wizard Stories of Oz L. Frank Baum John R. Neill 1913 Reilly & Britton Six short stories about the Oz characters, originally written to help re-launch the Oz series in 1913. Full text can be found online. The Tik - Tok Man of Oz L. Frank Baum N / A N / A ; produced in 1914 N / A The final version of The Rainbow 's Daughter, now with music by Louis F. Gottschalk, as produced by Oliver Morosco. Morosco and Victor Schertzinger interpolated one song of their own, but the production was not a big enough success for Morosco to want to move it to New York. `` The Littlest Giant : An Oz Story '' L. Frank Baum Bill Eubank written 1917 ; published 1972 International Wizard of Oz Club A violent tale about a magic dart, nominally set in the Gillikin Country but otherwise making no reference to Oz. Baum also wrote Oz - related stage plays : The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ( 1901 ) with music by Paul Tietjens and Nathaniel D. Mann, The Wizard of Oz ( 1902 ) ( music by Tietjens et al. ; with jokes by Glen MacDonough ), The Woggle - Bug ( 1905 ) with music by Frederick Chapin, The Rainbow 's Daughter, or The Magnet of Love ( February 1909 ) with music by Manuel Klein, revised in April 1909 as Ozma of Oz, and ultimately produced, with music by Louis F. Gottschalk as The Tik - Tok Man of Oz. Also in 1909, he wrote a play called The Girl from Oz. The manuscript is held in the archives at Syracuse University, but apparently its relation to Oz is little more than nominal ( it is also known as The Girl from Tomorrow and was later adapted for radio by Frank Joslyn Baum ), as is also the case with the short story, `` The Littlest Giant '', a rather brutal tale designated in two lines to be in the Gillikin country of Oz. With Gottschalk writing the music, he wrote an unproduced stage version of The Patchwork Girl of Oz in November 1913, that was developed into the film scenario. Subsequent Oz books by other writers The Oz books that were written subsequent to Baum 's death can be classified into two categories : The books that were founded on L. Frank Baum 's original canon : Publishers Reilly & Lee, who had printed 13 out of Baum 's 14 Oz novels, printed an additional 26 Oz books after Baum 's death, over the ensuing decades - 19 by Ruth Plumly Thompson, three by John R. Neill, two by Jack Snow and one each by Rachel Cosgrove Payes and by Eloise Jarvis McGraw & her daughter. Other publishers have since printed a plethora of additional Oz books, written by the aforementioned authors as well as many other fans ( more below ). The books that do not follow L. Frank Baum 's original canon, but create an alternate Oz : Most notable among such books are Gregory Maguire 's Wicked ( more below ). The Oz books of Sherwood Smith, published in 2005 and 2006, are officially recognized as canon by The Baum Trust. Subsequent books by other writers published by Reilly & Lee Ruth Plumly Thompson 's style was markedly different from Baum 's. Her tales harked back to more traditional fairy tales. She often included a small kingdom, with a prince or princess who saves his or her kingdom and regains the throne or saves Oz from invasion. Thompson even respelled Baum 's respelling `` Nome '' as the more traditional `` Gnome ''. By Ruth Plumly Thompson Title Illustrator Year Publisher The Royal Book of Oz John R. Neill 1921 Reilly & Lee The Scarecrow, going on a quest to find his family tree, slides down a magic bean - pole and discovers he is actually the Emperor of the mysterious underground Silver Islands. When Dorothy discovers him missing, she sets out to find him, meeting the knight, Sir Hokus of Pokes, along the way. Although Baum was credited as the author, it was written entirely by Thompson.

Neill 's vision of Oz is more manic than Thompson or Baum 's. Houses often get up and do battle, and everything can be alive. His entries take Oz 's color scheme ( blue for Munchkin Country, red for Quadling Country, etc. ) to an extreme, extending it to sky and skin colors. By John R.

A Barnstormer in Oz Philip José Farmer 1982 Set approximately 30 years after the events of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the protagonist of this novel is Hank Stover, the son of Dorothy Gale Stover. After his plane is lost in a mysterious green cloud, Hank finds himself in an Oz on the brink of a civil war. The novel states that the events of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz are based on real events. Baum had been a newspaper reporter in Nebraska around the time Dorothy was transported to Oz ; he interviewed her and later used his notes as the basis for the first novel. All subsequent novels by Baum are solely products of his imagination. Return to Oz Joan D. Vinge 1985 The book version of the movie Return to Oz ( 1985 ), which is based on the second and third books, The Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz. Dorothy of Oz Roger S. Baum The author is L. Frank Baum 's great grandson. In this story, Dorothy and Toto return to the Land of Oz when it is under attack by a Jester using the wand of the Wicked Witch of the West. Besides help from Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion, Dorothy gets help in her quest by a China Doll Princess, Tugg ( a tugboat made from the limbs of the Talking Trees with as many personalities as he has pieces ), and Wiser the Owl ( who has an unlucky attraction to molasses ). The 2014 film Legends of Oz : Dorothy 's Return is partially inspired by Dorothy of Oz. Was Geoff Ryman Was employs the literary conceit that a Kansas girl named Dorothy existed and that, as a school teacher, L. Frank Baum made up the story of the first Oz book to amuse her. The novel takes place in the real world. Wicked : The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West Gregory Maguire 1995 Published by ReganBooks, an imprint of HarperCollins. It is a parallel novel written by Gregory Maguire and illustrated by Douglas Smith. Based upon the writings of L. Frank Baum, it is a revisionist look at the land and characters of Oz, drawing primarily from Baum 's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. The novel presents events, characters and situations from Baum 's books and the film in new ways, with several differences between the L. Frank Baum series and the Wicked Cycle. These differences arise from the original Oz functioning as a mirror - image of Kansas in a cultural and economic framework : Oz was wealthy, prosperous and had excellent agricultural yields while Kansas was characterized by economic hardship, environmental difficulties and poor harvests. The social strife described in the Wicked Cycle indicates that the two series are set in similar and internally consistent but distinctly separate visions of Oz. The novel focuses on the life of the Wicked Witch of the West, whom Maguire gives the name Elphaba. Unlike the popular 1939 movie and Baum 's writings, this novel is not directed at children, and contains adult language and content. It is the basis for the Broadway musical Wicked by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman. Lion of Oz and the Badge of Courage Roger S. Baum 1995 The Dark Tower IV : Wizard and Glass Stephen King The characters visit an unpopulated version of the Emerald City, called the Green Palace. The Palace is a combination of the versions from the 1939 film and the book, pulled from the protagonists ' imaginations. The man sitting on the Wizard 's throne turns out to be Marten Broadcloak, an alter - ego of one of the Dark Tower Series ' main villains. Visitors from Oz Martin Gardner 1998 Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman use a Klein bottle to travel to New York City in 1998. Gardner 's whimsical fantasy includes various characters from the Oz books as well as ancient Greek gods and characters from Lewis Carroll 's Alice 's Adventures in Wonderland. Son of a Witch Gregory Maguire 2005 Published by ReganBooks. Sequel to Wicked, focusing on Elphaba 's son Liir. A Lion Among Men Gregory Maguire 2008 Published by William Morrow Books, an imprint of HarperCollins. The third book in `` The Wicked Years '', telling the life story of the Cowardly Lion ( given the name `` Brrr '' by Maguire ). Out of Oz Gregory Maguire 2011 Published by William Morrow Books, an imprint of HarperCollins. The fourth and final volume in `` The Wicked Years '', focusing on the life of Rain, daughter of Liir and granddaughter of Elphaba. The story also includes Dorothy 's return to Oz ( and trial for the deaths of the Wicked Witches of the East and West ), as well as the appearance of Tip and Mombi ( here spelled `` Mombey '' ) from The Marvelous Land of Oz. Oz Squad : March of the Tin Soldiers Steve Ahlquist 2011 This novel takes place a few years after the end of the Oz Squad comic book series. The Squad rushes to foil a plot by Rebecca Eastwitch to enslave both Earth and Oz using the secrets of a grimoire stolen from the Library of Hell. The Oz Saga : The City of Emeralds Landon Parks 2013 The first book in the series finds Dorothy struggling with dreams from her past visit to Oz. After finding a locket in the woods, she starts to feel that perhaps finding it was not as much of a coincidence as she thought. After being torn back into the kingdom of Oz, she finds that the magical kingdom is no longer the great, fabled fairy - country it was on her past visit. Published by Griffin Young Readers. First book in the middle grade series ' The Oz Saga ' Return to `` Return to Oz '', and Other Tales Justin MacCormack 2014 The collection of horror and dark fantasy stories including the titular story, themed around a man rediscovering his past and coming to terms with the disturbing moments he has experienced, set against the nostalgic memory of the film `` Return to Oz ''.
