| + | The '''Oz''' series is a once-popular children's book series which has attracted a significant fan base. It began with L. Frank Baum's [[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]], published 1900. Baum did not intend to start a series; however, readers enjoyed it so much that they called for a sequel. While Baum tried to end the series at least twice, he ended up writing fourteen books. After his death, other authors continued the series up to 1963. |
| | + | |
| | + | While Baum himself stated that he wrote ''Wizard of Oz'' "solely to please children of today", the Oz books have addressed or left significantly unaddressed several philosophical questions. |

| | + | Forty official Oz books were published by the original publishers. Fans have written and published many unofficial books; however, these mostly do not have the permission of the original authors and are mostly considered unofficial. |

| | + | After Baum's death, his publisher (with Baum's wife's consent) hired Ruth Plumly Thompson, a popular childrens' book author, to continue the series. |
| | + | |
| | + | Thompson's earlier books moved into the public domain before the [[Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act]]; her later books are also public-domain because she neglected to renew the copyright. |
