Visitors from Oz: The Wild Adventures of Dorothy, the Scarecrow. And the Tin Woodman (Penguin Press Science S.) - Softcover
What would happen if Dorothy and her companions from The Wizard Of Oz came to New York today to help a Hollywood producer publicize his new film? Only Martin Gardner, mathematical wizard and life-long Oz enthusiast could have created this wonderful sequel. Combining mathematical riddles with technological pyrotechnics, Martin Gardner has created a wonderful new fairy-tale celebrating the power of the imagination. 'This is one of those rare cases when the sequel somehow manages to be more enjoyable than the original' - Stefan Kanfer

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First British Paperback. Minor edgewear to the corners and a slight crease to bottom left hand corner of back cover. What would happen if Dorothy, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman from The Wizard of Oz came to New York today to help a Hollywood producer publicize his new film? Only Martin Gardner, mathematical wizard and life-long Oz enthusiast, could have created this delicious sequel. Even before they reach earth, his visitors from the nearby parallel universe of Oz encounter the gods of ancient Greece (now unemployed and living grumpily on a new Mount Olympus), characters from the Alice books and a bear-detective called Sheerluck Brown. And, after many mind-boggling adventures, will they be able to get back home through the four-dimensional Klein bottle linking Oz and Central Park? Combing mathematical riddles and scientific fantasy with humour and suspense, yet utterly faithful to the spirit of the original, this enchanting story is published just in time for the centenary of the first chronicle produced by the "Royal Historian of Oz", L. Frank Baum. Book. Seller Inventory # 003239
