Hello, Yellow Brick Road: Elton John to Pen the Foreword for Ultimate OZ Universe

We’re beyond thrilled to share some truly dazzling news: Elton John — legendary artist, lifelong OZ fan, and creative visionary — is writing the official foreword for ULTIMATE OZ UNIVERSE: THE LOST LANDS.

As it was revealed this morning in People Magazine, Elton’s personal connection to the world of OZ runs deep — from childhood inspiration to the creation of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road — and now, his voice will help usher in this new chapter of the OZ legacy.

“Every moment with a book is precious and I was dazzled by the first installment in the Ultimate OZ Universe, celebrating the legacy of Baum’s genius and the heritage of colour, unique characters, and the triumph of goodness.” — Elton John

This heartfelt foreword will appear in both the deluxe Kickstarter edition hardcover and the standard book market softcover releasing later this year — a lasting tribute to OZ’s impact on artists, dreamers, and storytellers around the world.

We can’t wait for you to read it. Thank you for backing this project and helping us build a universe worthy of the yellow bricks!
