The Wizard

Before the Emerald City... he was only a man.

Long before Dorothy's house fell from the sky, before the Scarecrow longed for wisdom and the Lion searched for courage, a lone balloonist drifted far from home - and crash-landed in a land of impossible colour, talking beasts, and ancient magic.

He had no magic. No power......But the people of Oz believed he did.

The Wizard tells the untold story of how an ordinary man became a symbol - and how the greatest tricks are often born from fear, kindness, and cleverness. As factions rise and witches scheme, the man from the sky must decide what kind of ruler he will become: a pretender, a protector... or a prisoner of his own legend.

Told in the enchanting voice of the Tales from the Land of Oz series, The Wizard is a richly imagined origin story filled with wonder, secrets, and the quiet beginnings of a great and terrible name.

Perfect for readers young and old who believe that the truth behind the curtain is always worth discovering.
