[Oz 01] • The Complete Wizard of Oz Collection, All 15 Books

The Oz books form a book series that begins with

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , and that relates the "history" of the Land of

Oz. Oz was originally created by author L. Frank Baum, who went on to write

fourteen Oz books. Although most of the Oz books are strictly adventures,

Baum as well as many later Oz authors styled themselves as "Royal Historians" of

Oz to emphasize that Oz is a genuine place. Later authors wrote 26 other

"official" books after Baum's death. Many other authors have put their own

twists on Oz, notably Gregory Maguire's revisionist Wicked. For more such

books, please see List of Published Oz Apocrypha.
