This Children stories book is 100 years old being published in 1916 and is now in the public domain.Being part of the Top of the World Stories for Boys and Girls it was written by Finnish author Zachris Topelius for the children of Finland and Sweden and then translated to English by Emilie and Laura Poulsson. It was initially called: THE PRINCESS LINDAGULL.It is, an Arabian Nights tale, and tells the story of Shah Nadir the might King of Persia and his much loved and beautiful daughter The Princess Arabella who, as well as beauty, had a heart noble, tender and good and there was no one in Shah Nadir's whole kingdom who did not love the Princess. The Princess is kidnapped by the evil Wizard Hirmu who took her far away to Lapland.The brave young Arab prince Abderraman made it his mission to rescue the Princess and after much searching and tribulations he found the Princess Arabella and took her back to her father. The grateful King gave the Princess's hand in marriage to the Prince and they married and lived happily ever after.I have left the story in its original version, it is as topical today as it was then, but I have edited a lot of the old style words to make them look and sound modern. I have added some new illustration to make it a much more pleasant experience to the reader and, more importantly, I have changed the name of the Princess to: PRINCESS ARABELLA and the title of the book to: The Princess Arabella, the Prince and the Wizard, an Arabian Nights Fairy Tale.

This fully annotated volume collects three of Baum's fourteen Oz novels in which he developed his utopian vision and which garnered an immense and loyal following. The Wizard of Oz (1900) introduces Dorothy, who arrives from Kansas and meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, and a host of other characters. The Emerald City of Oz (1910) finds Dorothy, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry coming to Oz just as the wicked Nome King is plotting to conquer its people. In Baum's final novel, Glinda of Oz (1920), Dorothy and Princess Ozma try to prevent a battle between the Skeezers and the Flatheads. Tapping into a deeply rooted desire in himself and his loyal readers to live in a peaceful country which values the sharing of talents and gifts, Baum's imaginative creation, like all great utopian literature, holds out the possibility for change. Also included is a selection of the original illustrations by W. W. Denslow and John R. Neill.

From a New York Times–bestselling author and Caldecott Medal-winning artist, this story of a royal race car driver is “a shot of gleeful adrenaline” (Publishers Weekly (starred review). Once upon a time there was a Princess. . . . who made a pit stop. While the Birds and Beasts changed her tires, her Fairy Godmother told her she was in last place! With just one lap left! She might as well give up! Give up? Not THIS princess! Instead, she hit the gas! Join Her Royal Highness in the driver’s seat for a mad dash to the finish in this exciting ode to auto racing. With appearances by fable and fairy tale favorites including the Tortoise and the Hare, the Frog Prince, and ALL of the Wicked Witches, this rollicking mash-up of race cars and royalty is a true celebration of both girl power and horsepower. “The full-page illustrations are saturated with color and express the action so vividly readers will nearly hear the roar of the racetrack. The emphasis on the Princess’ racing skill and zeal for her sport is empowering and refreshing.” —Kirkus Reviews “With its breakneck speed and massive number of storybook references, The Princess and the Pit Stop is sure to be a story time favorite.” —Shelf Awareness
