The Wizard of Oz is L. Frank Baum's beloved American fantasy about Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion traveling through Oz in search of help, home, brains, heart, and courage. The journey is simple in outline but endlessly memorable in images: yellow brick roads, strange companions, deceptive authority, and the discovery that desired gifts may already be partly present.
Readers of children's literature and classic fantasy will find The Wizard of Oz bright, humane, and unusually durable. L. Frank Baum creates a fairy tale without old-world heaviness, giving wonder an open American freshness. Its lasting charm comes from making friendship and self-discovery feel like the real magic behind the journey.
