  • Children's Books; America As Fairyland
    https://nyti.ms/29BLI4m ARCHIVES | 1985 CHILDREN'S BOOKS; AMERICA AS FAIRYLAND By CATHLEEN SCHINE JULY 7, 1985 About the Archive This is a digitized version of an article from The Times’s print archive, before the start of online publication in 1996. To preserve these articles as they originally appeared, The Times does not alter, edit or update them. Occasionally the digitization process introduces transcription errors or other problems. Please send reports of such problems to [email protected]. NEVER having read the Oz books as a child, I recently picked them up and began the 14-book journey through L. Frank Baum's queer country wondering what all the fuss was about. Because there is, of course, a fuss. An enormous, frenzied fuss that has existed since the first Oz book appeared 85 years ago. Pinch-lipped librarians patrolling their domains in a mysterious national campaign against scarecrows and tin men; novelists and distinguished academics combing the Oz texts for echoes of Hawthorne and Stephen Crane; 26 more sequels by six writers; collectors auctioning off scraps of Ozabilia; an International Wizard of Oz Club with thousands of members; a new movie, ''Return to Oz,'' and most important, I suppose, all these people, adult people, sitting around daydreaming of the times they sat around daydreaming, as children, looking up from yellowed pages describing the wonderful Land of Oz. I suspect I would have hated the Oz books as a child, having preferred heroic collies. And it is probably an indication of my lingering antifantasy prejudice that my favorite passages in all the Oz books are the very first: ''Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife.

So here, my dears, is a new Oz story in which is introduced Ann Soforth, the Queen of Oogaboo, whom Tik–Tok assisted in conquering our old acquaintance, the Nome King. It also tells of Betsy Bobbin and how, after many adventures, she finally reached the marvelous Land of Oz. There is a play called "The Tik–Tok Man of Oz," but it is not like this story of "Tik–Tok of Oz," although some of the adventures recorded in this book, as well as those in several other Oz books, are included in the play.

  • Said Shaggy to His Companions, "For It May Take the Queen Some Time to Conquer the Metal Monarch, As Tik-Tok Has to Do Everything in His Slow, Mechanical Way."
    Chapter Seventeen A Tragic Transformation "Don't let us worry," said Shaggy to his companions, "for it may take the Queen some time to conquer the Metal Monarch, as Tik-Tok has to do everything in his slow, mechanical way." "Do you suppose they are likely to fail?" asked the Rose Princess. "I do, indeed," replied Shaggy. "This Nome King is really a powerful fellow and has a legion of nomes to assist him, whereas our bold Queen commands a Clockwork Man and a band of faint-hearted officers." "She ought to have let Quox do the conquering," said Polychrome, dancing lightly upon a point of rock and fluttering her beautiful draperies. "But perhaps the dragon was wise to let her go first, for when she fails to conquer Ruggedo she may become more modest in her ambitions." "Where is the dragon now?" inquired Ozga. "Up there on the rocks," replied Files. "Look, my dear; you may see him from here. He said he would take a little nap while we were mixing up with Ruggedo, and he added that after we had gotten into trouble he 159 would wake up and conquer the Nome King in a jiffy, as his master the Jinjin has ordered him to do." "Quox means well," said Shaggy, "but I do not think we shall need his services; for just as soon as I am satisfied that Queen Ann and her army have failed to conquer Ruggedo, I shall enter the caverns and show the King my Love Magnet. That he cannot resist; therefore the conquest will be made with ease." This speech of Shaggy Man's was overheard by the Long-Eared Hearer, who was at that moment standing by Ruggedo's side.

  • Chapter 24: How the Tin Woodman Told the Sad News
    Chapter 24: How the Tin Woodman Told the Sad News The Tin Woodman received Princess Dorothy’s party with much grace and cordiality, yet the little girl decided that something must be worrying with her old friend, because he was not so merry as usual. But at first she said nothing about this, for Uncle Henry and Aunt Em were fairly bubbling over with admiration for the beautiful tin castle and its polished tin owner. So her suspicion that something unpleasant had happened was for a time forgotten. “Where is the Scarecrow?” she asked, when they had all been ushered into the big tin drawing-room of the castle, the Sawhorse being led around to the tin stable in the rear. “Why, our old friend has just moved into his new mansion,” explained the Tin Woodman. “It has been a long time in building, although my Winkies and many other people from all parts of the country have been busily working upon it. At last, however, it is completed, and the Scarecrow took possession of his new home just two days ago.” “I hadn’t heard that he wanted a home of his own,” said Dorothy. “Why doesn’t he live with Ozma in the Emerald City? He used to, you know; and I thought he was happy there.” “It seems,” said the Tin Woodman, “that our dear Scarecrow cannot be contented with city life, however beautiful his surroundings might be. Originally he was a farmer, for he passed his early life in a cornfield, where he was supposed to frighten away the crows.” “I know,” said Dorothy, nodding.

  • Chapter 26: How Ozma Refused to Fight for Her Kingdom
    Chapter 26: How Ozma Refused to Fight for Her Kingdom Ozma was in her rose garden picking a bouquet when the party arrived, and she greeted all her old and new friends as smilingly and sweetly as ever. Dorothy’s eyes were full of tears as she kissed the lovely Ruler of Oz, and she whispered to her: “Oh, Ozma, Ozma! I’m SO sorry!” Ozma seemed surprised. “Sorry for what, Dorothy?” she asked. “For all your trouble about the Nome King,” was the reply. Ozma laughed with genuine amusement. “Why, that has not troubled me a bit, dear Princess,” she replied. Then, looking around at the sad faces of her friends, she added: “Have you all been worrying about this tunnel?” “We have!” they exclaimed in a chorus. “Well, perhaps it is more serious than I imagined,” admitted the fair Ruler; “but I haven’t given the matter much thought. After dinner we will all meet together and talk it over.” So they went to their rooms and prepared for dinner, and Dorothy dressed herself in her prettiest gown and put on her coronet, for she thought that this might be the last time she would ever appear as a Princess of Oz. The Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and Jack Pumpkinhead all sat at the dinner table, although none of them was made so he could eat. Usually they served to enliven the meal with their merry talk, but to-night all seemed strangely silent and uneasy. 1 Created for Lit2Go on the web at fcit.usf.edu The Emerald City of Oz: Chapter 26 As soon as the dinner was finished Ozma led the company to her own private room in which hung the Magic Picture.

  • Bear Center and Oogaboo
    Bear Center Then from behind a tree there stepped a brown, fuzzy bear whose head came about as high as Cayke's waist--and Cayke was a small woman. The bear was chubby as well as fuzzy; his body was even puffy, while his legs and arms seemed jointed at the knees and elbows and fastened to his body by pins or rivets. His ears were round in shape and stuck out in a comical way, while his round, black eyes were bright and sparkling as beads. Over his shoulder the little brown bear bore a gun with a tin barrel. The barrel had a cork in the end of it, and a string was attached to the cork and to the handle of the gun. -- The Lost Princess of Oz Bear Center is not a city in the usual sense. It can best be described as a puppet stage or the set of a children’s television show intended to look like a forest. The ground in this circular area is very neatly carpeted with soft green moss. All of the trees that form the perimeter of the clearing are hollow, with circular holes some height up the trunk. Anyone who decides to search Bear Center for a human puppeteer will be disappointed. The plush bears of Bear Center are very much alive. Their most feared punishment is to be sent to America, where they would not be alive and little children would drag them around by their ears. For this reason, the bears are remarkably well behaved. The King of Bear Center is a large Lavender Bear.

  • Little Wizard Stories of Oz
    Little Wizard Stories Of Oz By L. Frank Baum LITTLE WIZARD STORIES OF OZ THE COWARDLY LION AND THE HUNGRY TIGER IN the splendid palace of the Emerald City, which is in the center of the fairy Land of Oz, is a great Throne Room, where Princess Ozma, the Ruler, for an hour each day sits in a throne of glistening emeralds and listens to all the troubles of her people, which they are sure to tell her about. Around Ozma's throne, on such occasions, are grouped all the important personages of Oz, such as the Scarecrow, Jack Pumpkin head, Tiktok the Clockwork Man, the Tin Woodman, the Wizard of Oz, the Shaggy Man and other famous fairy people. Little Dorothy usually has a seat at Ozma's feet, and crouched on either side the throne are two enormous beasts known as the Hungry Tiger and the Cowardly Lion. These two beasts are Ozma's chief guardians, but as everyone loves the beautiful girl Princess there has never been any disturbance in the great Throne Room, or anything for the guardians to do but look fierce and solemn and keep quiet until the Royal Audience is over and the people go away to their homes. Of course no one would dare be naughty while the huge Lion and Tiger crouched beside the throne; but the fact is, the people of Oz are very seldom naughty. So Ozma's big guards are more ornamental than useful, and no one realizes that better than the beasts themselves. One day, after everybody had left the Throne Room except the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger, the Lion yawned and said to his friend: "I'm getting tired of this job.
