List of published Oz Apocrypha

This page is a supplement to List of Oz books featuring published books, often by small press, that are not considered canon Oz books by most readers, and thus considered apocrypha. Some are intended for specific audiences, while others could be dismissed as glorified fan fiction, nevertheless, they were published and may have even been well-distributed. As the Baum Oz books are in public domain, no clearance needs to be obtained to write and publish (professionally or otherwise) fiction about characters appearing in them. Also, both of Jack Snow's Oz books are in the public domain in the United States, as are Ruth Plumly Thompson's "The Royal Book of Oz", "Kabumpo in Oz", "The Wishing Horse of Oz", "Captain Salt in Oz", "Handy Mandy in Oz", "The Silver Princess in Oz", and "Ozoplaning with the Wizard of Oz", making those books fair game as well. The most dramatic changes in her books are in "The Lost King of Oz" and "The Giant Horse of Oz", both of which remain protected under U.S. copyright law, and has left some well-regarded manuscripts unpublishable. The Oz books of John R. Neill, Rachel R. Cosgrove, and Eloise Jarvis McGraw and her daughter Lauren are all protected under U.S. copyright, making their characters and developments unusable.

Note that there have been two books titled "The Cloud King of Oz" (one by March Laumer and Richard E. Blaine and the other by Amanda Marie Buck). Also "Toto in Oz" by Chris Dulabone should not be confused with "Toto of Oz" by Gina Wickwar.

Buckethead Enterprises of Oz/Tails of the Cowardly Lion and Friends

Buckethead Enterprises of Oz was begun by Chris Dulabone in 1986. It was operated as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to furthering interest in Oz, L. Frank Baum, and John R. Neill. The company was later reorganized under the name Tails of the Cowardly Lion and Friends. In terms of quantity of titles, they are the largest publisher of non-canon Oz books. The lists are in order by stock number and should not be interpreted as a continuous series for diegetic purposes.

Emerald City Press

Emerald City Press was an imprint of Books of Wonder. Unlike their facsimile editions of Baum's Oz books and other classics of children's literature, these are published through an independent arm rather than through William Morrow and Company. They also published "The Emerald City Mirror" as part of the now defunct Royal Club of Oz. Many of the stories in this were ghost written by David Hulan. Donald Abbott's work was featured prominently by Emerald City Press. He drew in the style of W.W. Denslow, and the books he wrote are all prequels to "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and often incorporate elements from the 1902 musical extravaganza and other early Baum books like Father Goose. These books usually have no impact on the canon, the major exception being "The Patchwork Bride of Oz", which depicts the wedding of the Scarecrow and the Patchwork Girl, a rather drastic change. "How the Wizard Saved Oz" is particularly inconsistent, however.

Random House

Random House published a series of short Oz books for younger readers in 1985-1986. These books are all set prior to "The Road to Oz" and do not necessarily fit with canon books. For example, Dorothy being able to swim is an important plot point in "Ozma and the Wayward Wand", yet in "The Patchwork Girl of Oz", Dorothy states that she cannot swim. The book also gives Aunt Em the second name Glenda to tie her to Glinda. More problematic still is "Dorothy and the Magic Belt", in which Mombi is turned into a baby and Aunt Em and Uncle Henry learn of the existence of Oz before they arrive there in "The Emerald City of Oz". The books are also not terribly consistent with each other, either.

The first four books are illustrated by David Rose, the last by C.S. Ewing.

#"Dorothy and the Magic Belt" by Susan Saunders (1985)
#"Dorothy and the Seven-Leaf Clover" by Dorothy Haas (1985)
#"Mister Tinker in Oz" by James Howe (1985)
#"Ozma and the Wayward Wand" by Polly Berends (1985)
#"Dorothy and Old King Crow" by Dorothy Haas (1986)

Patchwork Press

Patchwork Press published later issues of Steve Ahlquist's "Oz Squad" comic book series. They have also published several Oz books by Peter Schulenberg:

#"The UnWinged Monkey of Oz" (2001)
#"The Emerald Enchantress of Oz" (2003)

by Mark E. Haas

Unlike most of the authors on this page, Mark Ellery Haas (1952-2007) asked for the blessing of The Baum Trust, and their lawyer threatened him, causing him to withdraw his first book after it was published when informed he had violated the copyright on "The Giant Horse of Oz", in which his title character first appeared. While "Leprechauns in Oz" was deemed legally acceptable, he was told he could not include "Founded on and Continuing the Famous Oz Stories by L. Frank Baum," which most of the books listed in this article carry on their title pages. Haas left behind a third book, not yet published.

Alternate Oz

These original Oz books are difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile with the Famous Forty.

by David Anthony

Aware only of the MGM movie. Intended as a trilogy based directly on the author's own dreams.
*"In Search of Dorothy: What If Oz Wasn't a Dream?" (Frederick Fell Publishers, 2006)
*"The Witch's Revenge" (Frederick Fell Publishers, 2006)

by Roger S. Baum

Roger Baum's books are generally written for a younger audience than his great-grandfather's. They also play fast and loose with continuity and never mention Princess Ozma. The backstory he establishes, as many of his books are prequels, often contradicts what we know about Oz from canon books. Often they are much easier to reconcile with the MGM movie, particularly "Lion of Oz and the Badge of Courage". The major exception is "Dorothy of Oz", which features a retcon about the Wicked Witch of the West having a magic wand, but in it, Dorothy meets Gayelette and Quelala, the couple who enslaved the Winged Monkeys to the Golden Cap in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz".

by L. Sprague de Camp

Depicts Ozma married to King Evardo and with a son.
* "Sir Harold and the Gnome King" (Baen Books, 1991)

by Martin Gardner

A seventeen year-old Dorothy visits the Great Outside World with her friends from the first Oz book. In addition to Dorothy being depicted much older than in the Oz books and the four prtrayed primarily based on their MGM counterparts, it also contradicts "The Lost King of Oz", in which Dorothy aged at an accelerated rate when she visited Hollywood, California.

*"Visitors from Oz: The Wild Adventures of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman" (St. Martin's Press, 1998)

by Dave Hardenbrook

Depicts a romance between Ozma and an American computer programmer named Dan Maryk. Also depicts the Three Adepts at Magic as grandchildren of Locasta and The Wizard.
*"The Unknown Witches of Oz: Locasta and the Three Adepts" (Galde Press, 2001)

by March Laumer

Laumer's books typically make drastic changes and he even tried to end Oz the Oz chronology in 2000. Controversial choices he made include marrying an adult Button-Bright to Glinda, implying sexual attraction to an unaged Dorothy Gale by both Ozma and the Shaggy Man, conflating the books of Alexander Melentyevich Volkov with Baum's, and having established characters make incontrovertible changes.
