Comments: In this Afrofuturist reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s classic, a young boy named Temi discovers a glowing gourd in his quiet village, awakening a destiny written in the stars. With the help of a talking tortoise and the powerful Orisha gods of Yoruba myth, Temi travels the sacred golden road to the marvelous city of Ilẹ̀-Aláwọ̀rà. On his journey, he faces divine trials, cosmic riddles, and a future only he can fulfill. This visionary tale blends African folklore, celestial technology, and Ozian wonder into a magical coming-of-age story that honors the past while lighting the path ahead. The Marvelous Kingdom of Oz is a mythic adventure for dreamers of all ages—a radiant retelling of Baum’s timeless world through a rich, Afrocentric lens. |
