The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and The Marvelous Land of Oz Bundle (Annotated)

By: Lyman Frank Baum

Narrated by: Whitney Gardner

Book 1: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, better known and loved today as simply The Wizard of Oz, is a tale that has been cherished by readers and listeners throughout the years. This timeless story has inspired Broadway shows, cartoon series, and many films over the past few generations. I hope that this book has inspired your sense of creativity and wonder as much as it has mine.

Lyman Frank Baum wrote the second book The Marvelous Land of Oz due to the numerous positive feedback letters he received from children after publishing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The children were so caught up in the story they wanted to hear more about the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. According to Baum, he promised to one little girl - who made a long journey to him and won his heart over - to write a sequel. Subsequently, this book is one of the 13 sequels in his collection.

I truly love these books. It brings up so many memories of childhood when I read it for the first time. I hope they continue to impact the lives of others the way it has impacted mine.
