The Road to Oz
The Road to Oz, published in 1909, is L. Frank Baum's fifth Oz book. On her uncle's farm in Kansas, Dorothy offers to show a ragged stranger, the Shaggy Man, the way to Butterfield, and the two of them, with Toto, find that every road around them leads somewhere unexpected. Picking up a solemn little boy called Button-Bright and Polychrome, the Rainbow's daughter, they pass through a city of foxes, a city of donkeys, the land of the Scoodlers and the deadly desert on their way to the Emerald City, where Princess Ozma is preparing a birthday party with guests from many fairy countries. Baum fills the journey with puns, transformations and friendly oddities. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
