Mother Goose in Prose by L. Frank Baum audiobook.
Genre: folklore
In Mother Goose in Prose, L. Frank Baum (best known for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) invites listeners into a storybook world where famous nursery rhymes are not the end of the tale, but the beginning. After a warm, playful introduction that traces the long-running mystery and legend of Mother Goose, Baum presents twenty-two familiar jingles and then opens each one up into a complete short story. Suddenly the quick verses children chant become lively scenes with motivations, mishaps, and heart: the boy behind Sing a Song o' Sixpence chases fortune and finds trouble; Little Boy Blue learns what responsibility costs; Jack Horner, Bo-Peep, and Humpty Dumpty step down from the page as real characters in real predicaments. Baum writes with a storyteller's rhythm and a gentle sense of humor, giving each vignette a hint of wonder, a dash of mischief, and just enough consequence to feel like a fable without ever turning stern. Perfect for chapter-at-a-time listening, this collection celebrates the imagination hidden inside everyday rhymes and offers a charming glimpse of the voice Baum was sharpening just before Oz.

Glinda of Oz by L. Frank Baum audiobook.
Genre: fantasy
In Glinda of Oz, L. Frank Baum returns to the magical Land of Oz for a tale that begins with a burst of danger on its borders. When troubling news arrives from the far south, Ozma the ruler of Oz calls on familiar friends for help, and Dorothy Gale sets out alongside the wise Sorceress Glinda and other companions to investigate. Their journey leads them into the wild and mysterious Quadling Country, where old grudges and new threats simmer beneath a beautiful landscape. As they press deeper, the travelers encounter strange creatures, hidden strongholds, and powerful magic that can imprison as easily as it can protect. Glinda must balance mercy with justice, Dorothy must keep her courage in the face of enchantments, and Ozma must decide how far Oz should go to stop cruelty beyond its own gates. Blending humor, wonder, and a darker undercurrent of peril, this late Oz adventure explores what it means to be responsible for others, and how kindness and bravery can stand against fear and tyranny.

The Emerald City of Oz by L. Frank Baum audiobook.
Genre: fantasy
The Emerald City of Oz (1910) was the sixth Oz book written by L. Frank Baum, a title he hoped would be the last. In this book, Dorothy and her impoverished Uncle Henry and Aunt Em are on the brink of losing their Kansas farm. Consequently, Ozma invites them all to live in the Emerald City. They then explore the countryside, visiting a series of strange beings including the Cuttenclips, the Fuddles, the Rigmaroles, the Flutterbudgets, and the residents of Utensia, Bunbury and Bunnybury. Aunt Em and Uncle Henry also meet old friends like the Wizard, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, Jack Pumpkinhead and H. M. Wogglebug T. E. The travelers’ idyll is brought short by the plot of an old enemy, the Nome King. Seeking revenge for the loss of his magic belt, the Nome King has an underground tunnel built so he can invade and plunder Oz and enslave its peoples. Our friends manage to defeat the Nome King and his allies, but sobered by this threat, Glinda and Ozma decide to cut off Oz from the outside world forever. Happily for Oz fans, forever lasted only three years. Baum invented a way to reopen communications with Oz and eight more Oz books were published between 1913-1920.
