The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a beloved children's novel written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. Originally published in 1900, it has since been reprinted numerous times, most often under the title The Wizard of Oz. The novel is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture and has been widely translated. Its initial success led to Baum's writing thirteen more Oz books, the last of which was published posthumously.All fourteen of the Oz books, plus a bonus book, are included in this collection. The publisher has done a fine job of assembling the fifteen stories. A master table of contents hotlinks each title, and each story has chapter links. I read enough of several stories to verify that the formatting is good, with the illustrations inserted at the correct locations within the text on my Kindle Fire HD 7".I remember reading The Wizard of Oz about sixty years ago when I was a kid. It was a marvelous story then as it is now, a great story for both children and adults. I'm not familiar with the other stories in the Oz series, but I'm hoping to find time to read them now.
