The Veiled Shanghai

Description

When L. Frank Baum introduced Dorothy and friends to the American public in 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz became an instant, bestselling hit. Today the whimsical tale remains a cultural phenomenon that continues to spawn wildly popular books, movies, and musicals. Now, editors John Joseph Adams and Douglas Cohen have brought together some of the leading fantasy, science fiction, and young adult writers to create the ultimate anthology for Oz fans—and, really, any reader with an appetite for richly imagined worlds. In “The Veiled Shanghai,” Ken Liu places Dorothy and her companions in a steampunk colonial Shanghai, where they must make their way to the Great Oz to give hope to an idealistic revolution. Some stories are dystopian…Some are dreamlike…All are undeniably Oz.
