Gorgeous collectable edition of L. Frank Baum's enduring and magical classic. Also features The Scarecrow of Oz and The Tin Woodman of Oz. A gorgeous new edition. L. Frank Baum's work is universally celebrated and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is known worldwide as a classic, in particular for its 1939 musical film adaptation starring Judy Garland as Dorothy. Published in 1900, the novel depicted the young farm girl Dorothy and her pet dog Toto, who are swept away to the Land of Oz in a cyclone and meet a whole host of characters on their journey to the Emerald City. 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. In addition to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (the first in the Oz series), this edition also includes the novels The Scarecrow of Oz and The Tin Woodman of Oz, centred around two of the original novel's beloved characters.
