He had nearly reached it when he threw in the clutch that started the propellers and at the same time slightly elevated the front rudder. Up, like a bird taking wing, rose the aircraft, soaring above the grand stand and then describing a series of circles over the field. Gradually it ascended, as if the aviator was ascending an aërial spiral staircase, until he had mounted so far among the clouds that only a grayish speck was discernible.The spectators held their breaths in anxious suspense. The speck grew larger. Swooping down at a sharp angle the aircraft came suddenly into view and within a hundred feet of the ground resumed its normal position and began to circle around the field again.Now a mighty cheer went up, and Orissa, who had been pressing Sybil’s hand with a grip that made her wince, found herself sobbing with joy. Her brother’s former flights had been almost as successful as this; but only now, with the plaudits of a multitude ringing in her ears, did she realize the wonderful thing he had accomplished.But on a sudden the shout was stilled. A startled, frightened moan ran through the assemblage. Women screamed, men paled and more than one onlooker turned sick and faint.For the Kane Aircraft, while gracefully gliding along, in full view of all, was seen to suddenly collapse and crumple like a pricked toy balloon. Aëroplane and aviator fell together in a shapeless mass toward the earth, and the sight was enough to dismay the stoutest heart.But Steve’s salvation lay in his altitude at the time of the accident. Fifty feet from the earth the automatic planes asserted their surfaces against the air and arrested, to an appreciable extent, the plunge. Had it been a hundred feet instead of fifty the young man might have escaped without injury, but the damaged machine had acquired so great a momentum that it landed with a shock that unseated young Kane and threw him underneath the weight of the motor and gasoline tank.A dozen ready hands promptly released him from the wreck, but when they tried to lift him to his feet he could not stand. His leg was broken...Scroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.

Lyman Frank Baum (1856 – 1919) was an American author chiefly famous for his children's books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its sequels. He wrote 14 novels in the Oz series, plus 41 other novels, 83 short stories, over 200 poems, and at least 42 scripts. He made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and the nascent medium of film; the 1939 adaptation of the first Oz book would become a landmark of 20th-century cinema. His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high-risk and action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).This ebook includs the complete illustrated collection of OZ, containing:1.

The “Surprising Adventures Of The Magical Monarch Of Mo And His People” is the first full-length children's fantasy book by L. Frank Baum which is a forerunner  to his more successful “Alice in Wonderland” and the many other books of Oz. Originally published in 1899, it is the first Account ever printed of the Beautiful Valley, and the Wonderful Adventures of its Inhabitants. It is well illustrated by Frank Ver Beck. Unlike Baum's later books, each of the 14 chapters, or “Surprises”, is a different full-length story. They do, however, have a general throughline, and can be seen as an episodic novel. The Surprises, or chapters are: The Beautiful Valley of Mo, The Strange Adventures of the King's Head, The Tramp Dog and the Monarch's Lost Temper, The Peculiar Pains of Fruit Cake Island, The Monarch Celebrates His Birthday, King Scowleyow and His Cast-Iron Man, Timtom and the Princess Pattycake, The Bravery of Prince Jollikin, The Wizard and the Princess, The Duchess Bredenbutta's Visit to Turvyland, Prince Fiddlecumdoo and the Giant, The Land of the Civilized Monkeys, The Stolen Plum-Pudding, and, The Punishment of the Purple Dragon, all of which give you a flavour of the fantasy you and your children can expect in the wonderful pages of this book. Mo is much more of a nonsense book than Oz, in a similar vein to Lewis Carroll's 1865 book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and it’s sequel, Sylvie and Bruno, which is probably what the author tried to emulate – and he did a fine job as well. The book was reissued in 1903 with a new title in order to capitalize upon Baum's success with “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” The book was only slightly altered in the process—Mo is called Phunniland or Phunnyland, but aside from the last paragraph of the first chapter, it is essentially the same book. 10% of the profit generated from the sale of this book will be donated to charity. ======================== L.
