The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Lyman Frank Baum

Swept away by a cyclone from the Kansas prairies to the Land of Oz, Dorothy and her dog, Toto, must find their way home. Traveling to the Emerald City with a new band of friends-the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion-Dorothy's fate is in the hands of a great and terrible wizard. But a wicked enemy stands in her way. For readers familiar only with the iconic 1939 film, delightful surprises are in store along Baum's original yellow brick road. Considered "America's first fairy tale," The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has found a home in the collective imagination of the entire world.
