Oziana 2022 features the fiction of Bob Baum, great-grandson of Oz author L. Frank Baum, and a wonderful team of Oz illustrators.
This is the first time Bob’s original writing has been collected in one volume; we are so pleased that he offered to work with us on this issue. We’re also delighted to bring you the work of these illustrators, some of whom are returning to Oziana for the first time in decades.
Bob’s stories are historical fiction tales that relay what happened–or might have happened–to inspire some of our favorite Oz characters. Illustrated by Oz fans, edited by Gina Wickwar, and published by the International Wizard of Oz Club, this annual collection continues the Club’s 50-year tradition of encouraging authors and illustrators to create their own stories exploring the Land the Oz.

-
- How I Meet the Scarecrow: As Related to Me by L. Frank Baum, Illustrated by Donald Abbott
- Young Frank and His Imagination: Hot Off the Press, Illustrations adapted from Dick Martin
- A Moment in Time, Illustrated by Rob Lauer
