Not the first translation of Baum’s world famed book ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ in Dutch, but the first of a series of translations for all of the original L. Frank Baum Oz books, collected in the series: ‘De Kronieken van Oz’.De Kronieken van Oz is de Nederlandse vertalingenreeks van de 17 oorspronkelijke Oz boeken van de Amerikaanse schrijver L. Frank Baum.Bewandel de weg met de gele steentjes en volg Doortje en haar vrienden, zoals de Blikken Man, de Vogelverschrikker, Sjaak Pompoenstaak, Prinses Ozma en vele anderen, op hun avonturen in het wonderlijke Land van Oz als zij het opnemen tegen gevaarlijke tegenstanderszoals de Boze Heks van het Westen, de oude feeks Mombi en de Noom Koning.In dit eerste boek wordt Doortje, een gewoon meisje uit het grauwe Kansas, door een wervelwind naar het wonderlijke Land van Oz gebracht waar ze op zoek gaat naar een Grote Tovenaar om hem te vragen of hij haar naar huis kan brengen. Onderweg komt Doortje vele kleurrijke figuren tegen en beleeft ze de spannendste avonturen die een klein meisje uit Kansas ooit zal kunnen beleven. Dit wereldberoemde sprookje betekende in 1900 de definitieve doorbraak van de Amerikaanse schrijver en journalist Lyman Frank Baum.Dit verhaal zou in tientallen verfilmingen en musicals de hele wereld overgaan. Baum schreef op verzoek van zijn lezers nog zeker 16 vervolgverhalen die allemaal in deze reeks gepoogd opgenomen te worden. 

De Laffe Leeuw en de Hongerige Tijger zijn verveelt van hun werk voor Prinses Ozma en trekken erop uit en beleven een spannend avontuur in de Smaragd Stad. In het prachtige paleis van de Smaragd Stad, dat in het hart van het magische Land van Oz ligt, is een grote troonzaal, met daarin een grote troon met glimmende smaragden, waarop Prinses Ozma , de regentes, elke dag wel een uur zat te luisteren naar de problemen van haar volk, die ze haar maar wat graag aan haar vertelden. Rondom de troon van Ozma verzamelden zich, bij zulke gelegenheden, alle belangrijke personen uit Oz, zoals de Vogelverschrikker, Sjaak Pompoenstaak, Tiktak de Uurwerk Man, de Blikken Houthakker, de Tovenaar van Oz, de Harige Man, en andere beroemde sprookjesfiguren. Doortje had meestal een plekje aan de voeten van Ozma, en aan weerszijden van de troon lagen twee enorm grote beesten, beter bekend als de Hongerige Tijger en de Laffe Leeuw. Deze twee beesten waren Ozma's trouwste beschermers, maar aangezien iedereen van deze mooie meisjes Prinses hield was er nog nooit een verstoring geweest in de Troonzaal, dus zat er voor de bewakers niets anders op dan streng en plechtig te kijken tot de Koninklijke Audiëntie over was en de mensen weer terug naar hun huizen gingen. Natuurlijk durfde niemand stout of ondeugend te zijn zolang de grote Leeuw en Tijger gehurkt naast de troon zaten; maar het toeval wil dat de mensen in Oz maar zelden stout waren. De beschermers van Ozma waren dan ook eerder een versiering dan dat ze nuttig waren, en niemand realiseerde zich dat beter dan de beesten zelf.
