In Baum's final novel, \u003ci\u003eGlinda of Oz \u003c\/i\u003e(1920), Dorothy and Princess Ozma try to prevent a battle between the Skeezers and the Flatheads. Tapping into a deeply rooted desire in himself and his loyal readers to live in a peaceful country which values the sharing of talents and gifts, Baum's imaginative creation, like all great utopian literature, holds out the possibility for change. Baum's classics spawned many adaptations, including the 1939 Judy Garland-starring classic film \u003ci\u003eThe Wizard of Oz \u003c\/i\u003eand Gregory McGuire's novel 1995 WICKED: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE WICKED WITH OF THE WEST, which was adapted into the second-highest grossing Broadway musical of all time \u003ci\u003eWicked \u003c\/i\u003e(with a film version forthcoming in 2024 starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande). Also included is a selection of the original illustrations by W. W. Denslow and John R. Neill, a jacketed hardcover, and colored and printed endpapers.","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44944784883967,"sku":"9780143138686","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780143138686_s600x595.jpg?v=1775596522","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780143138686","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
