The Wizard of Oz Book Series Index

The Wizard of Oz book universe is a larger thing than you may know! There’s the original books written by L. Frank Baum, then there’s the spinoffs and sibling books, and THEN there’s the rest of the “official Oz” books written by authors approved by the publisher after Baum’s death in the 1920s. If you’ve only every heard of the original book (and maybe a few others), you may be surprised at how many books are actually out there!

This post is an index of all the official Oz books, which include the “Famous Forty” official books, as well as 7 books set in the Oz world but are not “Oz books.” I didn’t include the non-canon books or later books written after the 1960s which may or may not be official now– the focus is on the original 40-ish canon books, most of which are in the public domain (which is the focus of this blog!) and many available for free to download.
