nReturn to L. Frank Baums wonderful world of Oz with this illustrated childrens book series. n Legendary Umbrella Island flies magically through the air . . . until it careens smack into the forehead of an extremely unpleasant giant! Meanwhile, Speedy--the New York lad--is making a soaring trip skyward himself, propelled by an erupting geyser and encased in Terrybubble, the jolly, living skeleton of a huge dinosaur. n n Its soon up to Speedy to save the Princess of Umbrella Island from both the demands of Loxo the Giant and the warring countries of Roaraway and Norroway. n nPraise for the Oz series n n Where the young stay young and the old grow young forever--these books are for readers of all ages.--Ray Bradbury n n The land of Oz has managed to fascinate each new generation. . . . The Oz books continue to exert their spell . . . and those who read [them] are often made what they were not--imaginative, tolerant, alert to wonders.--Gore Vidal n n I was raised with the Oz books, and their enchantment, humor and excitement remain with me. They are still a joy and a treasure. I welcome this Oz revival.--Stephen R. Donaldsonn
