I bring home a brand new book and as my hands spread over the glossy covers I care for this book like an old friend and feel a deep desire to buy all 14 of the Oz books to contribute to my little library in a place I call home. Open the book, delve into the land of Oz for one last time as this is the last book. One can only wonder what magic Baum could have cooked up had he lived a little longer. Buy this book! Read it to your children, give it to your friends, pass it down from generation to generation and give the magic to others. Share the wonder! Books are so important! Oz fans, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves! There’s only a handful of posts for this book. Post your feelings and let the world know how great this book is!

“Glinda of Oz” is the 14th and last Oz book written by Baum. It is an excellent book, full of excitement and fun (as are his other books). It is named after the Good witch of the North, Glinda the Good, and though it is not solely about Glinda, it is about the same old friends from all of the other Oz books: Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Lion, and all the others. This is an absolutely wonderful book, perfect for everyone, young and old.

One of the better books in the series, with a very valuable message – duty means performing some tasks that are unpleasant, but performing those very tasks can make life better for everyone. Having read them all in sequence, I am almost sad to know this is the last one I can read to my boys.

Synopsis – Dorothy and Ozma travel to a remote section of Oz in an attempt to arbitrate between the Skeezers and Flatheads, two fairy races on the verge of war of a fish supply. Both are made captive by the leader of the Skeezers, who has no interest in peace, and are nearly made permanent prisoners when the Skeezers city becomes trapped under a lake. The entire court of Oz comes to their rescue, led by Glinda the Good and the Wizard, and the group learns a valuable lesson about performing one’s duty.

We got the other 13 books a while ago in the Oz series and Glinda of OZ wasnt available. It came very quickly and is the edition I prefer, with the larger size page and full page artwork.

Excitment surged through me as I browsed the bookstore shelf, I had found the long-forgotten OZ shelf of the childrens section. I read most of the OZ books long ago, but I had noticed that there were a few that I didn’t recall reading, so I ventured into the corner were Frank Baums captivating stories were held. I bought this book, excited about Dorothys adventures that I had yet to experience, and when I opened the cover, I noticed a note stating that this was Baum’s last book, and that the publishers were going to try to create another book about OZ. I obviously noticed that this never came to be. Baum seemed to know this would be his last book, because the world of Oz went out with a bang. Every loved character was mentioned, or brought back into the wonderful tale of Dorothy, Ozma, Glinda, Flatheads and Skeezers. In a tribute to the amazing wizard of literature, this was one of Baum’s best books about everyones favorite fairyland…OZ.
