The Oz series by L. Frank Baum is one of the most famous fantasy series in American literature. It begins with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), in which Dorothy Gale is swept from Kansas to a magical land by a cyclone. That first book introduced the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, and the Wizard himself, characters that have become part of popular culture far beyond the books.
Baum originally planned to end the series after the sixth book, The Emerald City of Oz (1910), but reader demand brought him back. He continued writing Oz novels until his death, with Glinda of Oz published posthumously in 1920. Over the course of fourteen main novels and several related works, Baum created an entire geography for the Land of Oz and its surrounding countries, populated by hundreds of characters both human and magical. The later books in the series, like The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1913) and The Lost Princess of Oz (1917), are less well known than the first few but contain some of Baum’s most creative worldbuilding.
