Summary: Very good!
Comment: I would love to see George Lucas make movies based on Oz Books. ILM would do wonders these books made into movies! Natalie Portman would make an excellent Dorothy Gale or Ozma of Oz. Nicole Kidman as Glinda. Whoopie Goldberg as the Patchwork Girl of Oz. Computer animated creatures like in Jurrasic Park would be something to see! A CGI Cowardly Lion and Hungry Tiger would be great to see! This book was very good and could easily be made into a movie!

Summary: The penultimate Baum, in the ultimate edition
Comment: As the Beatles sang: "It's getting very near the end." This is the second-to-last of Books of Wonder's marvelous reissues of L. Frank Baum's Oz books (yes, folks, there's much *more* to Oz than the movie!) and the book itself is one of the gems of the entire series. One of the darker (yet most delightful) of Baum's original books features Kiki Aru, would-be sorcerer, wreaking havoc throughout the Land of Oz with his powerful word of transformation: "Pyrxqzgl." Like editor Peter Glassgold says in his afterword, I too spent hours as a kid trying to figure out how that should be pronounced! Baum never lived to see this or his final Oz book ("Glinda of Oz") published, but the maturity, mystic adventure and sheer fun of this book makes it one of the best in the series. I wonder what gems he would have given us had he lived longer! All of Baum's Oz books are excellent suggestions for parents searching for Christmas gifts for their kids who have read the three Harry Potter books to shreds. I'm sorry to see this excellent repackaging of the series nearly at an end, but as I discovered as a kid, the books themselves never end--they're there for us to re-read and re-discover for all time.
