It’s mostly based on Baum but includes several elements from the "Magic Land" books. A two part sequel, ''Adventures in the Emerald City: Princess Ozma'', adapted Baum’s ''Land of Oz''.

* Many stage musicals are based on the Oz books, with the first ones written by Baum himself; later ones include:
** ''[[The Wiz]]''
** ''[[Wicked (Theatre)|Wicked]]'', adapted from a [[Wicked (Literature)|book of the same name.]]
* The Land of Oz has been the subject of several comic books.
