Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition yellow boards/aqua green spine/gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of The Fourteen Oz Books Written by L. Frank Baum, The Royal Historian of Oz; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quotes; Preface; and About the Author. Illustrated with full page color plates, black-and-white line drawings, map illustrated color front and rear endpapers, and a black-and-white photographic frontispiece o L. Frank Baum. The upper front right jacket tip has a 1/8th inch closed tear and light rubbing at the upper jacket spine edge (see photographs). "Martin Gardner, one of America's greatest Oz experts and author of The Annotated Alice, has created a modern version of the Oz legend. In this colorful addition to Oz mythology, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman find themselves pursued through New York City by a gang of vicious hoodlums. Combining all the timeless charm of L. Frank Baum's original classics with a contemporary setting in the United States, Visitors from Oz is a magical tale that will delight readers of all ages who are young at heart." - from the rear outer jacket. "Dorothy and friends return to New York City, on the eve of the 100th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz. Ever since The Wizard of Oz was first published in 1900, Dorothy and her companions have captured the imaginations of Americans, both young and old. Generations of readers raised on L. Frank Baum's incredible Oz books, and on books by his worthy successors, will be amazed and entranced by Martin Gardner's exciging account of further adventures of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman in the United Stees. Indeed, by placing the story in Manhattan of the late 1990s, with cameo appearances by Rudy Giuliani, Oprah Winfrey, and Geraldo Rivera, Gardner has for the first time ingeniously adapted Buam's immortal characters to an American setting. While a century's worth of readers has enjoyed the Oz series, it is not generally known that in Baum's fifth Oz book, Ozma teleported Dorothy and her uncle permanelty to Oz. Nor is it known that Glinda moved Oz to a parallel world. In Gardner's wild novel, Dorothy and her faithful friends visit several towns in Oz -- including Wonderland, a new Mount Olympus, and Ballville -- before they arrive in New York's Central Park by way of a mathematical curiousity called a Klein Bottle. The purpose of their visit to Earth is to publicize a new musical film about Oz. But plans go awry when two evil mobsters, hired by a wicked rival movie producer, try to kill Dorothy and her companions. In their desperate attempts to flee these villians, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman find themselves in a series of precarious predicaments across New York City. Combining vivid suspense with a host of mathematical riddles and technological pyrotechnics, Martin Gardner has created a new fable in the finest traditions of L. Frank Baum that celebrates the power of imagination and the lure of an ageless heroine named Dorothy at the turn of a new century. A jewel of a story, Visitors from Oz will bedazzle children and adults alike for decades to come." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "This is one of those rare cases when the sequel somehow manages to be more enjoyable than the original." - Stefan Kanfer.
