Product Description
Product Description
This book contains the third and fourth novels in the Russian Oz-inspired "Magic Land" series. In "The Seven Underground Kings," Ellie and her cousin Fred arrive by accident in the kingdom of the Underground Ore-Diggers at a time of crisis, and help put things right. In "The Fiery God of the Marrans," villainous Urfin Jus, using an ordinary cigarette lighter, passes himself off as a god to the primitive Marran people, who do not even have fire, and makes them into a powerful military force to use to conquer the Emerald City.

Don't look past this one!, Nov 9 2009
By ManWithGoodTasteSays: "listen to Blur, people!" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tales of Magic Land 2 (Paperback)
What you are looking at is two books of the "Alternative Oz" series, which are only loosely based on the series most are familiar to.To start, Dorothy is named Ellie, and this is not the biggest change yet (don't want to spoil anything).
These series by the IMO one of the greatest Russian writer of all time tend to be more mature than the "Wizard of Oz", incorporating political and science fiction themes, much like the Strugatski Brothers' works. But there is humor as well, so don't expect something like LOTR.
If you are interesting in fantasy/science fiction, buy this collection of two books.

Great book, complex language, Jan 18 2010

This review is from: Tales of Magic Land 2 (Paperback)
This is a great book. I've read it as a kid in Russian and now reading it to my son and wife in English. My only complaint it the complexity of the language used in English translation. My wife is a native English speaker and she is having issues understanding what this or that word means. I have read all of these books as a little kid and do not remember having any issues whatsoever understanding the language (Russian).Otherwise - a great read and can't wait to get a hold of the first book in English.
