`The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick,' said
the Witch; `so you cannot miss it. When you get to Oz do not be
afraid of him, but tell your story and ask him to help you.' A
cyclone hits Kansas and whirls away Dorothy and her little dog Toto
to the magical Land of Oz, where wild beasts talk, silver shoes
have magic powers, and good witches offer protection with a kiss.
But Dorothy has made an enemy of the Wicked Witch of the West. With
her new friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly
Lion, they brave many dangers in search of the Wonderful Wizard in
his Emerald City at the heart of Oz to ask him to grant each of
them what they most desire - only to find that they already possess
it. Published at the dawn of the twentieth century, The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz (1900) immediately captivated child and adult readers
alike. This new edition includes many of W. W. Denslow's original
illustrations, and the introduction considers both the famous MGM
film version and recent literary theory in a fascinating discussion
of this children's classic. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years

position that allows women to negotiate their way through their
double status as women and as writers
