L. Frank Baum's work is universally celebrated and The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz is known worldwide, in particular for its 1939 musical
film adaptation starring Judy Garland as Dorothy. Published in
1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz depicted the young farm girl
Dorothy and her pet dog Toto, who are swept away to the Land of Oz
in a cyclone. Baum was inspired by the works of the Brothers Grimm
and Hans Christian Andersen, focusing on manipulating the fairy
tale tradition with an American feel in the Oz series. This edition
collects together the best of L. Frank Baum's Oz works, taking
material from the very first 1900 publication of The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz and subsequent novels including Ozma of Oz, Dorothy
and the Wizard in Oz and The Lost Princess of Oz.

Follow Dorothy, and her loyal dog Toto, as they are carried away from Kansas by a cyclone to the wonderful world of Oz. Wandering down the yellow brick road Dorothy meets her three famous companions – a Scarecrow longing for a brain, a Tin Woodman wishing for a heart, a cowardly Lion yearning for some courage – and together they travel to the illustrious Emerald City where they hope all their dreams will come true.
One of the true classics of American literature, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has stirred the imagination of young and old alike for over four generations. Originally published in 1900, it was the first truly American fairy tale, as Baum crafted a wonderful out of such familiar items as a cornfield scarecrow, a mechanical woodman, and a humbug wizard who used old-fashioned hokum to express that universal theme, "There's no place like home." Follow the adventures of young Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, as their Kansas house is swept away by a cyclone and they find themselves in a strange land called Oz. Here she meets the Munchkins and joins the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City, where lives the all-powered Wizard of Oz. This lavishly produced facsimile of the rare first edition contains all 24 of W. W. Denslow's original color plates, the colorful pictorial binding, and the 130 two-color illustrations that help make The Wonderful Wizard of Oz so special and enduring.
