Since its first publication in 1900, Baum’s story of a girl swept away by a tornado to the enchanting Land of Oz has profoundly impacted readers of all ages. As Dorothy travels the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, seeking help from the Great and Terrible Wizard, she embarks on adventures with the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion, confronting a wicked witch and discovering the values of friendship, loyalty, and self-confidence. While scholars have debated the tale's political meanings, Baum aimed to create a “modernized fairy tale” filled with wonder, devoid of heartaches. This classic fantasy adventure resonates with essential qualities every child needs: compassion, courage, and wisdom. <b>With original illustrations by William Wallace Denslow.</b> <b>J. T. Barb
