When L. Frank Baum introduced Dorothy and friends to the American public in 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz became an instant, bestselling hit. Today the whimsical tale remains a cultural phenomenon that continues to spawn wildly popular books, movies, and musicals. Now, editors John Joseph Adams and Douglas Cohen have brought together leading fantasy writers such as Orson Scott Card and Seanan McGuire to create the ultimate anthology for Oz fansâ€”and, really, any reader with an appetite for richly imagined worlds. ,Stories include: Seanan McGuireâ€™s â€œEmeralds to Emeralds, Dust to Dustâ€ finds Dorothy grown up, bitter, and still living in Oz. And she has a murder to solveâ€”assuming Ozma will stop interfering with her life long enough to let her do her job. In â€œBlown Away,â€ Jane Yolen asks: What if Toto was dead and stuffed, Ozma was a circus freak, and everything you thought you knew as Oz was really right here in Kansas? â€œThe Cobbler of Ozâ€ by Jonathan Maberry explores a Winged Monkey with wings too small to let her fly. Her only chance to change that rests with the Silver Slippers. In Tad Williamsâ€™s futuristic â€œThe Boy Detective of Oz,â€ Orlando investigates the corrupt Oz simulation of the Otherland network. Frank Baumâ€™s son has the real experiences that his father later fictionalized in Orson Scott Cardâ€™s â€œOff to See the Emperor.â€,Some stories are dystopian... Some are dreamlike... All are undeniably Oz.,***,No stranger to Oz reinvention himself, Wicked author Gregory Maguire provides the foreword to these outstanding modern stories inspired by the enchanting Land of Oz.
