- Land_of_Oz abstract "The fictional Land of Oz is a magical country first introduced in American author L. Frank Baum's classic children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). It is considered to be the official American fairyland, consisting of four vast quadrants, of the North, South, East and West, each of which is under the rule of witches and sorcerers. However, the realm itself has always been ruled by one officail dominant monarch, who represents the entire country as a whole.Though Baum never intended for his first Oz book to have any sequels, it achieved a greater popularity than any of the other fairylands he created attained, such as the land of Merryland in Baum's children's novel Dot and Tot in Merryland—surprisingly written only one year after The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Due to Oz's world wide success, Baum decided to return to it four years after his first Oz book was published. For the next two decades, the land was described and expanded upon in the Oz Books. A series of which introduced several fictional characters and creatures having adventures in a world where real magic still exist, and marvelous things are possible. In an attempt to close the series with The Emerald City of Oz (1910), by ending the story with Oz being forever sealed off from earth, did not sit well with fans, and Baum disregarded this attempt by writing more successful Oz books, even naming himself the \"Royal Historian of Oz\".Interestingly, Baum originally intended for Oz to be a real, existing place, unlike the MGM's 1939 musical movie adaptation, which presents it as Dorothy Gale's unconscious fever dream. According to the Oz books, Oz is just a hidden and undiscovered continent cut off from the rest of the world due to being completely surrounded on all four corners by a Deadly Desert that will instantly turn any living thing that touches it to sand, thus making it nearly impossible for anyone to deliberately visit or leave Oz.In all, Baum wrote fourteen best selling children's books about Oz and its enchanted inhabitants, as well as a spin off series of six shorter books, intended for younger children who were still learning how to read. After his death in 1919, author Ruth Plumly Thompson, illustrator John R. Neill, and several other writers and artist continued the series, thus continuing the Oz legacy Baum left behind. There are over 50 novels based upon Baum's original Oz books.The canonical demonym for Oz is \"Ozite\". The term appears in Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, The Road to Oz, and The Emerald City of Oz. Elsewhere in the canon, \"Ozmie\" is also used. In the animated 1974 semi-sequel to the MGM film, Journey Back to Oz, \"Ozonian\" is used. The term \"Ozian\" appears in the script for the Royal Shakespeare Company's stage adaptation of the MGM movie and in the non-canonical modern work Wicked. \"Ozmite\" was used in Reilly & Lee marketing in the 1920s, which has suggested to some critics that \"Ozmie\" may have been a typographical error.".
