  • The Hidden History of Oz, Book Two Crown of the Dreamer Guide for Parents
    The Hidden History of Oz, Book Two Crown of the Dreamer Guide for Parents Overview This review is based on the format used by Common Sense Media (http://www.commonsensemedia.org). This is not an official Common Sense Media review. The author created this review to give parents an idea of what the book contained, to determine whether or not it would be appropriate for their children to read. What parents need to know Parents need to know that this book is part of a prequel series to L. Frank Baum’s novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The character names are familiar, but the characters themselves are youthful and inexperienced. They make mistakes, get angry, and do things normal to young people, but very different from their older selves encountered in Baum’s books. The story takes place in the year 1854 A.D., forty­six years before Dorothy enters the Emerald City. Oscar is the Wonderful Wizard, and he has established the Emerald City based on the foundations of liberty, freedom, hard work, and responsibility. Many people have come to the Emerald City because they want the freedom to live as they choose, but many have come simply because they want wealthy and feel like they should be in charge of things. They don’t do much except follow social trends, attend parties, and congratulate themselves on being important. The author takes a low view of these type of self­congratulatory people. The story is written at a fifth­grade reading level. The subject matter explores many emotionally heavy topics, such as loyalty, friendship, betrayal, manipulation, isolation, depression, fear, and loss.

FRANK BAUM "Royal historian of Oz" This Book is dedicated to the son of my son Frank Alden Baum page 1 / 250 TO MY READERS I know that some of you have been waiting for this story of the Tin Woodman, because many of my correspondents have asked me, time and again what ever became of the "pretty Munchkin girl" whom Nick Chopper was engaged to marry before the Wicked Witch enchanted his axe and he traded his flesh for tin. I, too, have wondered what became of her, but until Woot the Wanderer interested himself in the matter the Tin Woodman knew no more than we did. However, he found her, after many thrilling adventures, as you will discover when you have read this story. I am delighted at the continued interest of both young and old in the Oz stories. A learned college professor recently wrote me to ask: "For readers of what age are your books intended?" It puzzled me to answer that properly, until I had looked over some of the letters I have received. One says: "I'm a little boy 5 years old, and I Just love your Oz stories. My sister, who is writing this for me, reads me the Oz books, but I wish I could read them myself." Another letter says: "I'm a great girl 13 years old, so you'll be surprised when I tell you I am not too old yet for the Oz stories."
