Okay, I have thirty new books to post about, so let's start by knocking out half of them right away! So, recently, I went to a vintage store and bought an adorable little shelf, thinking to use it for my tiny books. And then I got home and realized that most of my tiny books had been given to their authors. So I needed a project to fill this out, and settled on the oz books as a fun public domain set that would look really nice on the new shelves! This set includes the 14 books written by baum himself, and then the 15th book written from his notes after his death.

Now. Here's my first self-inflicted stumbling block. Each of the books is a pretty small chapter book. Nice and bite-sized, right? A real easy, laid-back lift? Right???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, once you stack 15 of them, they totaled something like 675k of text. So this is where 'tiny text' became a theme of the month. My eyes are very good, and I have natural monovision that will probably keep them very good. But all my binderary books are for me this year, because I'd be reluctant to inflict most of them on anyone else, haha

I ended up wrangling that all in a single word doc so I could keep my formatting consistent, and My God. Then the resulting books were also so small that getting consistent trimming on the guillotine was a real adventure too. But I'm very happy with these! They're so cute and fun, and these were some of the favorite books of my childhood, so I'm delighted to have them now!

I’m just sayin’, the fact that L Frank Baum was called the “Royal historian of Oz” and the books were supposedly him receiving info from Dorothy and recording it himself says a lot about the characters in his books who were “best friends”

hello here's my wizard of oz + wicked art so far 💖
as you see they're my own versions of a AU in my head but they're heavily based on a mashup of the MGM 1939 movie + of the wicked musical show because i RLLY love the wicked witches, but i'm getting into the respective books and other adaptations <3 im tentatively posting on tumblr to see if there are other people interested or if its all faded into obscurity, hope we can get along.

We all know that Baum really enjoyed writing couples, particularly Dorothy/Ozma and Scarecrow/Tin Woodman. The first fourteen Oz books are chock-full of paragraphs detailing how close these characters are, with John R Neill providing some truly iconic illustrations for them!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But all of that changed when Ruth Plumly Thompson took over for the series. For whatever reason she wasn’t nearly as fond of these couples as Baum was and it showed in her writing. The Tin Woodman was all but written out of her version of  Oz, with the Scarecrow’s companion of choice now being the Patchwork Girl. Ozma got to stick around however, but her relationship with Dorothy was never as affectionate as before; they never kissed again in Thompson’s books. But while Thompson may have wanted to break up Oz’s biggest power couples, it seems that John R Neill didn’t get the memo, bc he just kept on drawing them being hella affectionate!

Hey Oz fandom.
I drew Ozma and Dorothy as adults because I fully believe that people do age in oz wtf are you doing Frank
Ozma is now queen of Oz and Dorothy is queen consort cause they’re married duh

It’s my first time taking ADHD medication and I just realized The Wizard of Oz still exists in the universe of The Wizard of Oz.
If the books revolved around Baum receiving letters from Dorothy and documenting them, then the books exist in the Oz universe as history books.
This also means most adaptations exist as either documentaries or historical fiction.
If Ozians have tv and computers, the main 4 in book 1 (everyone’s immortal and doesn’t age in the book btw) probably watched the 1939 movie and picked out all the inaccuracies.
They can see everything you’re doing with your adaptations.
They probably even know about the fanfics.
An Oz character could be reading this right now.
I can’t even IMAGINE how bizarre Wicked must have felt to them (even though I love it).

I I feel so bad for the Oz book fans who doesn't know about this
youtube
This is the first episode of a series of audio dramas that adapt L. Frank Baum's 1900 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and I kid you not, this is the best adaptation that I ever seen, or better, heard, of the book. Believe me, this will surprise and delight you all.
Please take a look. It's criminal how little audience this YouTube channel has, because by the quality of these episodes, they deserve much more views.
Currently, the Chronicles of Oz, how they call the series, has three seasons, adapting the first three books of the Oz series.
Please, spread the word. I assure you, this series is really, really good.
