Seattle: University of Washington Bookstore, 1929; S.J. Sackett, \“The Utopia of Oz.\” Georgia Review 14 (Fall 1960): 275-91; and Andrew Karp, \“Utopian Tension in L. Frank Baum\’s Oz.\” Utopian Studies 9.2 (1998): 103-21. Later volumes, beginning with The Emerald City of Oz, are \ primarily adventure novels but have utopian elements and Ozma of Oz has elements of a Cockaigne, such as a Lunch Box Tree and a Dinner Pail Tree. After Baum\’s death, Ruth Plumly Thompson (1891-1976) was hired to write sequels. She wrote twenty-one additional Oz books between 1921 and 1976, although the first, The Royal Book of Oz, was credited to Baum.\ Other Oz novels were published and illustrated by both illustrators with Denslow publishing Denslow\’s Scarecrow and Tin-Man (1904) and a comic strip \“Scarecrow and Tin-Man\” and Neill publishing The Wonder City of Oz (1940), The Scalawagons of Oz (1941), and Lucky Bucky of Oz (1942).\ A film based loosely on the novel is The Wiz (1978) directed by Sidney Lumet (1924-2011) with the screenplay by Joel Schumacher (1939-2020) based on the play The Wiz by William F[erdinand] Brown (1928-2019) that ran for 1600 performances on Broadway.
