The Land of Oz (by L. Frank Baum)

THE LAND OF OZ by L. Frank Baum (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

In Frank Baum’s delightful sequel to The Wizard of Oz, young Tip runs away from his guardian, the witch Mombi. Accompanied by Jack Pumpkinhead and the wooden Saw-Horse, he flees to the Emerald City, where he learns the incredible secret of his past.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Audie®-winning narrator Anna Fields.
