The Emerald City of Oz L. Frank Baum

Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 ? May 6, 1919) is one of America?s most read authors, and he is widely considered one of the premier authors of children?s books. Baum wrote dozens of novels and short stories, as well as hundreds of poems, and he even foresaw technological innovations such as computers, televisions and mobile phones, all of which made their way into his writing. Baum, however, is still best known and best regarded for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and several other titles that took place in the fantasy world of Oz. Every American is familiar with Dorothy and Toto, and Oz has been adapted for movies, screenplays, and more ever since. This is the sixth book in the series. The sixth book in the series, The Emerald City of Oz follows Dorothy while she is touring through the Quadling Country, the Nome King is assembling allies for an invasion of Oz. This is the first time in the Oz series that Baum made use of double plots for one of the books.
