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.

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.

The Enchanted Island of Yew by L. Frank Baum audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

On the Isle of Yew, five neighboring kingdoms share the same shores, but not the same peace: thieves, rogues, and strange enchantments have made the island a place where trouble is never far away. During a picnic in the Forest of Lurla, Sesely, the spirited daughter of Baron Merd of Heg, and her companions meet an unexpected visitor - a bored fairy who longs to escape the perfect dullness of immortal life. At the fairy's urging, the girls perform a spell that turns her into a mortal boy for one year, and the newly made adventurer takes the name Prince Marvel. Equipped with fairy-given armor and an enchanted mount, Marvel sets out to prove himself in a world where courage is needed but wisdom is rarer. Along the way he rescues the oddly willing-to-suffer squire Nerle, confronts the bandit Wul-Takim, faces the court of the wicked King Terribus and his formidable dragon, and stumbles into the eerie twilight realm of Twi, where even identity comes in pairs. As Marvel races from one perilous encounter to the next, Baum blends comedy, fairy-tale logic, and sly satire into a brisk quest about justice, transformation, and what it really means to be heroic.
