DOWNLOAD EBOOK →“Maguire’s work is melodic, symphonic, and beautiful; it is dejected and biting and brave. How great that people flock to these magical novels.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review Bestselling author Gregory Maguire’s remarkable series, The Wicked Years, comes full circle with this, his fourth and final excursion across a darker, richer, more complex landscape of “the magical land of Oz.” Out of Oz brilliantly reimagines L. Frank Baum’s world over the rainbow as wracked with social unrest—placing Glinda the good witch under house arrest and having the cowardly Lion on the lam from the law as the Emerald City prepares to make war on Munchkinland. Even Dorothy makes a triumphant return in Maguire’s magnificent Oz finale—tying up every loose green end of the series he began with his classic Wicked, the basis for the smash hit Broadway musical.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Scarecrow... O-M-G... Scarecrow... I was not expecting a character being so hot and forceful about what he wanted. Forget everything you have ever been told about Oz, Dorothy, and even her yappy dog. There have been stories written and songs sung about the fabled land of Oz. Each trying to tell the true story of what really happened along the yellow brick road. But none of them come close to the truth. It all started when the king of Oz, my father, decided that he wanted to retire. He wasn't sure which of his four daughters to leave his kingdom to. So being the wise king that he was, he split the countryside in to four and allowed his daughters to prove themselves. My sisters got the North, South, and West quadrants. Whereas I, Indi to my friends, got stuck with the East. Yep, you guessed it, Munchkin land. If that wasn't bad enough. Some chick in braids showed up throwing houses around and stealing my best shoes. When she began to murder the Munchkins I knew I had to make a stand. Dorothy had to go. Scarecrow (Witch Queens: Tales from Oz) is an adult retelling of the Wizard of Oz with four happy endings and one wild ride inbetween.

Telling Tales

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Germany has had a profound influence on English stories for children. The Brothers Grimm, The Swiss Family Robinson and Johanna Spyri's Heidi quickly became classics but, as David Blamires clearly articulates in this volume, many other works have been fundamental in the development of English chilren's stories during the 19th Centuary and beyond. Telling Tales is the first comprehensive study of the impact of Germany on English children's books, covering the period from 1780 to the First World War. Beginning with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, moving through the classics and including many other collections of fairytales and legends (Musaus, Wilhelm Hauff, Bechstein, Brentano) Telling Tales covers a wealth of translated and adapted material in a large variety of forms, and pays detailed attention to the problems of translation and adaptation of texts for children. In addition, Telling Tales considers educational works (Campe and Salzmann), moral and religious tales (Carove, Schmid and Barth), historical tales, adventure stories and picture books (including Wilhelm Busch's Max and Moritz) together with an analysis of what British children learnt through textbooks about Germany as a country and its variegated history, particularly in times of war.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The stories, as critics have noted, lack the high-fantasy aspect of the best of Baum's work, in Oz or out. With ironic or nonsensical morals attached to their ends, their tone is more satirical, glib, and tongue-in-cheek than is usual in children's stories; the serialization in newspapers for adult readers was appropriate for the materials.
