Special Edition Commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the Classic Movie
After a cyclone scoops them up with their Kansas farmhouse, Dorothy and her dog Toto find themselves transported to Oz, a magical land that is home to diminutive munchkins, witches wicked and good, flying monkeys, and all manner of marvelous creatures and beings. In the company of friends whom she makes during her stay--a Tin Woodman in search of a heart, a Scarecrow desperate for a brain, and a Cowardly Lion who craves courage--Dorothy seeks out the
Wizard of Oz
, the only person in the land with the power to return her home.
The Wizard of Oz
has delighted generations of readers since L. Frank Baum first published it in 1900. Illustrated by W. W. Denslow, whose magnificent art distinguished the first edition of Baum's tale, this special 2013 edition features and elegant bonded-leather binding, a satin-ribbon bookmark, distinctive gilt edging, and pictorial endpapers. It's a book that will be cherished by readers of all ages.
