The Marvelous Land of Oz

Written by L. Frank Baum

Narrated by Toni Maddocks

Return to a world of strange creatures, exciting adventures, and fast-paced fun with Book 2 of L. Frank Baum's beloved Oz series.   After the orphan boy Tip escapes from the evil witch Mombi with the help of Jack Pumpkinhead (yes, his head is a pumpkin, and yes, magic is involved), they set out for the Emerald City. But they find the City in turmoil as the fierce General Jinjur and her all-female Army of Revolt try to overthrow the Scarecrow's male rule.  Will Tip ever find his true home? Can peace and harmony return to Oz? Can a flying machine made out of a sofa, two palm fronds, and a stuffed moose head be fast enough to catch a witch? Find out in an adventure that's even funnier, wilder, and stranger than The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.   Toni Maddocks' spirited reading of this unabridged classic will send a new generation of listeners on a thrilling journey to a magical land.

L. Frank Baum

L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American author of children’s literature and pioneer of fantasy fiction. He demonstrated an active imagination and a skill for writing from a young age, encouraged by his father who bought him the printing press with which he began to publish several journals. Although he had a lifelong passion for theater, Baum found success with his novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), a self-described “modernized fairy tale” that led to thirteen sequels, inspired several stage and radio adaptations, and eventually, in 1939, was immortalized in the classic film starring Judy Garland.
