Frank Baum returns to the glittering world beyond the desert with a fresh hero and a new kind of trouble.

When Tip's homemade pumpkin-headed figure, Jack Pumpkinhead, unexpectedly becomes a companion on the run, the pair set off across a country where enchantments are everyday tools and dangers can be as silly as they are serious. Along the way they meet an odd collection of allies, including a loyal wooden Sawhorse, and stumble into the growing unrest aimed at the Emerald City. As rumors of rebellion spread and the throne is threatened, Tip and his friends must navigate shifting loyalties, hidden magic, and the question of what makes someone fit to rule.

The Magic of Oz by L. Frank Baum audiobook. Genre: fantasyThis is the second to last book in the OZ series that Baum actually wrote himself before he passed away. 'A Faithful Record of the Remarkable Adventures of Dorothy and Trot and the Wizard of Oz, together with the Cowardly Lion, the Hungry Tiger and Cap'n Bill, in their successful search for a Magical and Beautiful Birthday Present for Princess Ozma of Oz.' - Summary by Baum. Almost all the marvelous creatures of OZ are involved in this far reaching adventure story with tons of danger, evil magic, dastardly plots and heroic last minute acts of bravery to finally save the day. The Lonesome Duck makes her first and last appearance in this book which, by itself, makes it a 'must listen to' in my opinion.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:12:42) Chapter 02(00:19:19) Chapter 03(00:35:39) Chapter 04(00:40:10) Chapter 05(00:53:05) Chapter 06(01:09:48) Chapter 07(01:17:45) Chapter 08(01:31:12) Chapter 09(01:44:41) Chapter 10(01:55:26) Chapter 11(02:05:27) Chapter 12(02:18:29) Chapter 13(02:34:28) Chapter 14(02:49:29) Chapter 15(03:05:39) Chapter 16(03:20:10) Chapter 17(03:33:25) Chapter 18(03:40:58) Chapter 19(03:50:30) Chapter 20(04:01:23) Chapter 21(04:07:21) Chapter 22(04:23:03) Chapter 23 Learn more about your ad choices.

Rinkitink in Oz by L. Frank Baum audiobook. Genre: fantasyRinkitink in Oz is the tenth book in the Oz series written by L. Frank Baum, first published in 1916. It was originally written in 1905 as a stand alone fantasy work and subsequently rewritten as an Oz book. Therefore, most of the action takes place outside of Oz in neighboring fairy countries. It tells the story of Prince Inga's quest to rescue his parents from captivity after his island home is ravaged by enemies. With the help of three magical pearls and the more dubious assistance of the excessively jolly King Rinkitink and his surly goat, Bilbil, his travels lead him to the underground caverns of the Nome King where he is united with some people from Oz who help him to free his parents and restore his island kingdom.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:15:18) Chapter 02(00:33:15) Chapter 03(00:46:07) Chapter 04(01:03:41) Chapter 05(01:30:31) Chapter 06(01:52:19) Chapter 07(02:12:34) Chapter 08(02:30:50) Chapter 09(02:43:57) Chapter 10(02:59:52) Chapter 11(03:07:02) Chapter 12(03:12:30) Chapter 13(03:27:22) Chapter 14(03:47:21) Chapter 15(03:52:35) Chapter 16(04:02:38) Chapter 17(04:16:38) Chapter 18(04:50:41) Chapter 19(05:03:22) Chapter 20(05:09:23) Chapter 21(05:20:24) Chapter 22(05:30:18) Chapter 23(05:37:20) Chapter 24 Learn more about your ad choices.

Mary Louise in the Country by L. Frank Baum audiobook. Genre: familyThe Bluebird Books is a series of novels popular with teenage girls in the 1910s and 1920s. The series was begun by L. Frank Baum using his Edith Van Dyne pseudonym, then continued by at least three others, all using the same pseudonym. Baum wrote the first four books in the series, possibly with help from his son, Harry Neal Baum, on the third.The books are concerned with adolescent girl detectives— a concept Baum had experimented with earlier, in The Daring Twins (1911) and Phoebe Daring (1912). The Bluebird series began with Mary Louise, originally written as a tribute to Baum's favorite sister, Mary Louise Baum Brewster. Baum's publisher, Reilly & Britton, rejected that manuscript, apparently judging the heroine too independent. Baum wrote a new version of the book; the original manuscript is lost.The title character is Mary Louise Burrows.In this volume, Mary Louise and Gran'pa Jim take a house for the summer in a quiet place called Cragg's Crossing. There, they meet with any number of peculiar people - and one very peculiar mystery!!For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:12:02) Chapter 02(00:20:25) Chapter 03(00:32:45) Chapter 04(00:43:54) Chapter 05(00:49:34) Chapter 06(01:04:25) Chapter 07(01:16:35) Chapter 08(01:31:16) Chapter 09(01:40:43) Chapter 10(01:51:08) Chapter 11(01:58:35) Chapter 12(02:07:46) Chapter 13(02:16:46) Chapter 14(02:28:12) Chapter 15(02:36:25) Chapter 16(02:42:24) Chapter 17(02:55:12) Chapter 18(03:06:19) Chapter 19(03:16:20) Chapter 20(03:29:02) Chapter 21(03:36:50) Chapter 22(03:46:39) Chapter 23(04:00:02) Chapter 24(04:07:35) Chapter 25(04:17:22) Chapter 26(04:22:49) Chapter 27(04:29:53) Chapter 28 Learn more about your ad choices.

Little Wizard Stories of Oz by L. Frank Baum audiobook. Genre: fantasyThe 'Little Wizard Stories of Oz' are six short stories written by L. Frank Baum in 1913. By all accounts, Baum intended to finish the Oz series with 'The Emerald City of Oz,' published in 1910. Following that, he attempted to write non-Oz books, publishing 'The Sea Fairies' in 1911 and 'Sky Island' in 1912. But, (as Baum himself laments in the prefaces of many of his Oz books,) his 'little tyrants' were only interested in hearing more Oz stories. So in 1913, he returned to writing about Oz, putting out both The 'Little Wizard Stories' and 'The Patchwork Girl of Oz' that year.The Little Wizard Stories were geared toward younger children and were originally published separately, 'similar in style to today's Little Golden Books.' The next year, they were published together as one volume.Each Little Wizard Story revolves around the adventures of two famous Oz characters, and their humorous adventures in and around the land of Oz.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:12:04) Chapter 02(00:24:09) Chapter 03(00:36:05) Chapter 04(00:47:50) Chapter 05(00:59:16) Chapter 06 Learn more about your ad choices.

Gambler’s World & The Yillian Way by Keith Laumer audiobook. Genre: scifiIn Gamblers World & The Yillian Way, Keith Laumer drops you into the sly, hard-hitting universe of Jame Retief, a working diplomat for Terra's sprawling Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne who has little patience for ceremony when lives are on the line. In Gambler's World, Retief arrives on Petreac alongside puffed-up superiors and fragile treaty obligations, only to find a society where status, power, and even politics are settled like wagers. As unrest builds and rival factions circle, Retief must read the room faster than any professional cardsharp, spotting who is bluffing, who is cornered, and who is ready to turn a diplomatic reception into a massacre. In The Yillian Way, a mission to the Yills becomes a minefield of protocol: every greeting, gift, and meal is a test, and every mistake could be fatal. While the official delegation clings to rules and titles, Retief relies on nerve, humor, and a keen understanding of how insults function in alien culture. Part political farce, part adventure, these two tales skewer bureaucracy while celebrating competence under pressure.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 1(00:18:29) Chapter 2(00:31:49) Chapter 3(00:55:06) Chapter 4(01:15:25) Chapter 5 Learn more about your ad choices.
