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.
