Download Oz Reimagined: New Tales from the Emerald City and Beyond AudioBook Free
When L. Frank Baum introduced Dorothy and friends to the American people in 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz became an instant, best-selling reach. Today the whimsical story remains a ethnical phenomenon that continues to spawn wildly popular books, films, and musicals. Now, editors John Joseph Adams and Douglas Cohen have brought together leading illusion freelance writers such as Orson Scott Card and Jane Yolen to produce the ultimate anthology for Oz lovers. Stories include:
- Frank Baum's boy gets the real encounters that his father later fictionalized in Orson Scott Card's "Off to Start to see the Emperor".
- Seanan McGuire's "Emeralds to Emeralds, Dirt to Dirt" confirms Dorothy developed, bitter, but still living in Oz. And she has a murder to resolve - assuming Ozma will stop interfering with her prolonged enough to let her do her job.
- In "Blown Away", Jane Yolen asks: Imagine if Toto was inactive and stuffed, Ozma was a circus freak, and all you thought you understood as Oz was really the following in Kansas?
- "The Cobbler of Oz" by Jonathan Maberry explores a Winged Monkey with wings too small to let her soar. Her only chance to change that rests with the Silver Slippers.
- Tad Williams's futuristic "The Youngster Detective of Oz", where Orlando investigates the corrupt Oz simulation of the Otherland network.
- Dorothy and friends plotting to flee a mental hospital in Robin Wasserman's unsettling "One Flew Above the Rainbow".
- An adventurous female, attracted to China's ground-breaking protests of 1919, finding another aspect in Ken Liu's fanciful "The Veiled Shanghai".
