OZ-STORY MAGAZINE IS AN ANTHOLOGY CELEBRATING THE FABULOUS LAND OF OZ, THE FANTASY COUNTRY INTRODUCED IN L. FRANK BAUM'S CLASSIC THE WIZARD OF OZ. Editor David Maxine has gathered the most entertaining new Oz short story fiction, comics, & verse, as well as selecting rare Oz-related works of the past, & compiled them into a durable trade paperback with full-color covers. OZ-STORY is suitable for all ages. Its many illustrations will especially attract grades 2-5. Stories range in length from shorts, suitable for reading aloud to groups of young children, to longer, more sophisticated stories that will engross young adult readers. No serious children's literature collection will want to forego the included reprint of L. Frank Baum's boys' adventure novel, SAM STEELE'S ADVENTURES ON LAND & SEA, one of Baum's scarcest works. Restorations of comic strips by important Oz illustrators W. W. Denslow, John Neill, & Walt Spouse showcase early examples of this American artform. Popular Oz authors Rachel Cosgrove Payes & Eric Shanower contribute new stories. OZ-STORY WILL DELIGHT BOTH THE ENTHUSIASTIC OZ FAN & THE CASUAL READER.
