About All of the Oz Books The Tin Woodman and his friends have a terrible experience with the wicked giantess, Mrs. Yoop, but the happy spirit and the brave devotion that seems to be a part of the make-up of all Oz people, bring them safely through. In "The Magic of Oz" the jolly little Wizard of Oz is found at his best and Dorothy's adventures with him are truly wonderful. Two strange races appeared in "Glinda of Oz," the thirteenth Oz book. These are the Flatheads, who carried their canned brains in their pockets, because their heads were so flat on top that there was no room in them for brains, and the Skeezers, who lived in a glass-domed city on a magic island. Princess 0zma and Dorothy had many strange experiences when they tried to stop a war between the Flatheads and the Skeezers and were rescued from dire peril by the sorcery of Glina the Good. The publishers cannot close this story of the Oz books without quoting one of the thousands of letters to Mr. Baum from child readers. This one comes from far off Australia.
