The Oz Canon Notes of Oz
Wicked Review

These are the classic titles of the Oz series. With new Oz books, the occasional comic book series, collectible whatnots and various reprints coming out every year, it would be a massive undertaking to track all things Oz. This lowly page, rather, offers a bit of information on what would otherwise become an encyclopedia. These forty-odd books are considered by many to be the "canon" of Oz.
