Dorothy, an orphan who lived with her uncle and aunt in Kansas, was accidentally brought by a cyclone, as the cyclone lifted the house Dorothy and her dog, Toto, were in, to the Land of Oz. The house accidentally landed on a Wicked Witch of the East and killed her, which made the Munchkins freed from the Wicked Witch slavery. Despite the beauty of the Land of Oz and the gratefulness of the Munchkins, Dorothy still wanted to go back to Kansas. Thus the Good Witch of the North, which came to the Land of the East after the Munchkins sent her a message about the incident, suggested Dorothy to see the Great Wizard in the City of Emerald and ask him for help. So then with the kiss of the Good Witch of the North on her forehead, and the silver shoes of the killed Wicked Witch of the East on her feet, she went to see the Great Oz. In her journey to the City of Emerald, she met the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion in different places. They decided to go to see the Great Oz together, for the Scarecrow wanted a brain, the Tin Woodman wanted a heart, and the Cowardly Lion wanted courage to ask to the Great Wizard. Together they faced many obstacles and successfully made their way to the City of Emerald and they met the Great Oz. After they met the Great Oz, they were asked to kill the Wicked Witch of the West before the Great Oz gave them what they wanted. As the Great Oz wishes, they had a journey to the West and try to beat the Wicked Witch of the West. In their second journey, they found difficult times. They have been attacked by a troop of wolves, a flock of wild crows, a swarm of black bees, and a dozen of Winkies sent by the Wicked Witch. But the Tin Woodman chopped the wolves to death, the Scarecrow killed all the wild crows, the black bees dead for trying to sting the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion scared the Winkies away. Mad of being beaten, the Wicked Witch requested the Winged Monkey with the power of the Golden Cap to destroy all the travelers but the Cowardly Lion. So the Winged Monkeys tore the body of the Scarecrow, and throw the Tin Woodman from the air to the rocky country. The two comrades were destroyed, but the Winged Monkey couldn’t harm Dorothy for she had been kissed on the forehead by the Good Witch of the North. So they brought both Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion to the castle of the Wicked Witch of the West. The Wicked Witch herself couldn’t harm Dorothy because of the kiss, so she planned to steal the powerful silver shoes of the Wicked Witch of the East that Dorothy wore. Dorothy was so angry for the Wicked Witch of the West stole her silver shoes, that she threw a bucket of water to the Wicked Witch which then melted her to death. Happy and rejoiced, for being freed from the Wicked Witch, the Winkies helped Dorothy and her companions. After the wrecked Tin Woodman and the torn Scarecrow had been repaired, using the power of the Golden Cap, they flew back to the City of Emerald with the help of the Winged Monkeys. As they got back to the Great Oz, they accidentally found out that the Great Oz was not a wizard after all. He was actually a man from Omaha who flew in an air balloon and got trapped in the magical land a quite long time before. He deceived all the people in the Land and built the City of Emerald then became the ruler of it. Anyway, the old man gave the Scarecrow a brain made of pins and needles, the Tin Woodman a heart made of silk and filled with sawdust, the Cowardly Lion a bottle of courage, and promised Dorothy that he would make an hot-air balloon for them to cross the desert surrounding the magical Land and get back to Kansas. But when the balloon launched, Dorothy missed the chance for she was chasing Toto through the crowd and the old man flew away...

This book is probably the best of the later OZ books and one of the best in the series. As a kid, I read and reread the OZ books. As most people know, author L. Frank Baum tired of the books and wanted to end them after the sixth book -- The Emerald City of OZ. The weak sales of his non-OZ books and the clamor by readers for more OZ stories obliged him to continue writing them. Even as a kid, I thought the later OZ books were weaker than the earlier ones, with the last two -- The Magic of OZ and Glinda of OZ -- being particularly weak. The plots tended to be rather sketchy, centering on not always well-movitated journeys during which the familiar characters would encounter strange countries peopled by odd creatures, who were -- even to an eight-year old! -- often a bit tiresome.This book, though, stands apart, with an interesting and exciting plot, thoughtful characterizations, and much less formulaic adventures. Whether Baum put more effort into this one or whether he just happened to conceive a plot that inspired him, I don't know. In either case, I would highly recommend this book to anyone whose children might have read a few of the earlier books and might be getting a little tired of them. I would also recommend it to adults who read the book as a child and would like to revisit one of Baum's best books.
I love the Books of Wonder Series. They are well printed and relatively inexpensive. Unlike some of the cheaper -- in every sense! -- reprints of the OZ books that are available, these books allow the reader to recapture what it must have been like to find one of the original books under the Christmas tree 100 years ago.

The Magic of Oz Lyman Frank Baum 9781514207437 Books Reviews
I ordered this because Dover Books do such a nice job. I have several first edition Oz books which I love, and wanted copies of each so I could go through them from time to time, reading and looking at the illustrations. My first editions were getting to the point where I didn't like actually using them;I was afraid of damaging them. The Dover books were great; a little bigger than the normal paperback so the illustrations showed up great.
I am very happy with the Dover Children's Classics, and I can show them to the kids without fear, as I can always order another if sticky finger-prints get all over them!
A very charming book in the original Oz series. This is a mystery in which Ozma and various magical objects disappear and must be found by many beloved characters. Among new characters, I especially enjoyed the boastful human-sized Frog and the little pink bear who always tells the truth.
its a book. you read it and figure out for yourself if you like it or not. its not the new best seller. its a tried and true classic. you either know what you are getting or you dont. honestly if i knew i would be asked to review free movies and books i would have probably not gotten them in the first place. i dont have to review but writting reviews is the only way to keep the list short and manageable to gain access to the things that a review is truly vaild for.
This book came and is about the size of a coloring book. It's also abridged. Nothing like the original. I'm going to have to purchase another one that contains the whole story.
This review is for the physical edition of the book, not the content of the story. The story is the usual L. Frank Baum excellence, but this particular edition of the book is poorly put together. It arrived much larger than expected. The illustrations look as though they were scanned at a low resolution and then enlarged at the same low resolution, resulting in low-quality illustrations. Most of the pages have a dark background, as though they were simply scanned from another edition of the book and then printed as an image rather than as text. Do not consider this edition of this book. Keep looking for a better-quality edition.
While the story itself is great, this particular copy is not. This book was hastily made /printed on standard computer paper. The cover is heavily pixelated. If you are a fan of books, this abomination will make you cry.
This e-book is the Project Gutenberg online edition, one of many public domain books in e-book format supposedly for free. There are NO ILLUSTRATIONS! There is nothing about this book that indicates that it is a Barnes & Noble special edition. I figured this was the case and purchased the book to confirm it. I have the book with its original illustrations. The only positive about this book is that it is the original Baum story which is very fun to read.
