Glinda of Oz by L. Frank Baum
3.0
This is the last installment of the Oz books written by Baum. There are dozens of Oz books written by others, including the recent Wicked. I am sorry that Baum did not live to write more books because the last few book in the series showed that Baum reached a maturity in writing that was a pleasure to read.
Besides being introduced to so many wonderful characters in an environment that is relatively safe but not without cause for dramatic tension, the thing I enjoyed most about reading all of Baum's Oz books was to see how he progressed and matured as an author fo childrens books. I think any budding author of children's books would do well to read the series in order as I did to observe how he corrected some of the flaws in his earlier books.
