Originally published in 1902, "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" is a fantasy book written by L. Frank Baum (author of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"). Baum dedicated the book to his son Harry Neal Baum.This biography of Santa Claus is told in three parts. The first deals with his infancy, telling how he was raised by the Wood Nymphs in the enchanted Forest of Burzee. The middle section narrates his manhood: how he became the friend of children, how his enemies the Awgwas were defeated, and how many of his Christmas traditions began. The final part deals with his old age, and how the Mantle of Immortality was bestowed on him.Although it is not part of the Oz series, "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" does have many connections with the Land of Oz. It introduces the Gnome King, who later appeared in Ozma of Oz and other Oz books. Also, Santa Claus himself visited the Emerald City and was an honored guest at Ozmas birthday party in The Road to Oz.

Tutti e tre hanno delle richieste da fare al mago di Oz: lo spaventapasseri vorrebbe un cervello, il boscaiolo di latta vorrebbe un cuore e il leone vigliacco vorrebbe il coraggio, ma il loro cammino, attraverso citta fantastiche, fitte foreste, ordinati campi coltivati e pericolosi deserti, e pieno di ostacoli. Mostri, animali favolosi e popolazioni mai viste abitano questo paese dominato dalle leggi della magia e i cinque compagni di viaggio devono lottare contro terrificanti creature e affrontare molte peripezie prima di giungere a destinazione.

First issued in 1904, L. Frank Baums The Marvelous Land of Oz is the story of the wonderful adventures of the young boy named Tip as he travels throughout the many lands of Oz. Here he meets with our old friends the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman, as well as some new friends like Jack Pumpkinhead, the Wooden Sawhorse, the Highly Magnified Woggle-Bug, and the amazing Gump.

An unlucky Munchkin boy named Ojo must travel around Oz gathering the ingredients for an antidote to the Liquid of Petrifaction which has turned his beloved uncle Unc Nunkie and the wife of the Liquids creator into marble statues. Ojo is joined by the patchwork girl Scraps, Dorothy, Dr. Pipts Glass Cat, the Woozy, the Shaggy Man, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. They eventually visit the Emerald City to ask for help from the Wizard of Oz.

Dorothy thinks she is lost forever when a terrifying tornado crashes through Kansas and whisks her and her dog, Toto, far away to the magical land of Oz. To get home Dorothy must follow the yellow brick road to Emerald City and find the wonderfully mysterious Wizard of Oz. Together with her companions the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion whom she meets on the way, Dorothy embarks on a strange and enchanting adventure.

Within this third work of Baums Land of Oz series, Dorothys story is continued with her beloved companions and given further life with inventive new characters, including a talking hen named Billina and the Hungry Tiger. After being tossed from a steamship during a storm, Dorothy finds herself in the kingdom of Ev, where she becomes involved in a journey to the palace of the evil Nome King to rescue the Queen of Ev and her children. From dodging Wheelers to dangerous guessing games, Dorothy must overcome many obstacles to help the helpless and reach a happy ending in Oz. "Ozma of Oz" is a worthy component of a series of stories that have delighted children for over a century.

The Scarecrow of Oz is the ninth Oz book. In this story, Trot, a young girl from California, and her peg-legged sailor friend, Capn Bill, find themselves on a perilous voyage when a whirlpool leaves them stranded in an underwater cave. There they are befriended by a most curious creature - the Ork. With four paddle-like wings, legs like a storks, a parrots head, and a tail like a propeller, the Ork proves to be a very welcome and helpful companion.
