When I was a child, I read several of the Oz books, but not the ones in this series so I don't know why they were different.  The last one I owned was Terribubble in Oz and I think that was by Ruth Baum.  This series contains fifteen of Frank's works and the first one, from which the movie the "Wizard of Oz" was taken is much different than that story so I don't think I read the first book as a child.  My only problem was that I have a Kindle Light and so the illustrations, which are in color, only appear in black and white, where if I had read them on one of the more expensive Kindles, they would have been in color and incredibly entrancing for children.Nevertheless, these stories are perhaps for younger children than the age group who made the Harry Potter series famous, but these stories have witches and fantastic characters that must still appeal to children and having all of the books in one place like this Kindle e-book makes it much easier to keep track of them.  I applaud  Doma Publishing House for this effort and encourage this series to be introduced to everyone's children or grandchildren.  In a sweet subtle way they promote good against evil and although there is subtle violence, it is not shocking and all encompassing as so much media that is presented to children now.  I love these stories.
