An Apple Books Classic edition.

In The Magic of Oz, L. Frank Baum’s imagination turns inward, toward forbidden words, dangerous wishes, and unforeseen consequences. When a restless Munchkin boy discovers his father’s secret spell of transformation, his newfound magic unexpectedly draws the exiled Nome King Ruggedo out of hiding and sets off a plot to conquer the Emerald City.

As spells run wild and friends are turned into beasts and back again, Dorothy and the Wizard race to undo the chaos, proving that cleverness and compassion can overcome even the darkest enchantments. Blending mischief, peril, and redemption, Baum’s penultimate Oz tale is an extraordinary journey teeming with warmth, wit, and wonder.
