Synopsis
Originally published in 1900 as THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ, and later under the title THE WIZARD OF OZ, L. Frank Baum’s imaginative American fairy tale/fantasy has been a perennial favorite for over a century. Though there is academic debate about 1890s political references in the text, the adventures of Dorothy Gale and the creatures she meets are infinitely more entrancing to readers. This first volume in the 14-book Wizard of Oz series opens with a transformative tornado that hits Dorothy’s small Kansas town and transports the girl and her pup, Toto, to the magical Land of Oz. Seeking a way back home, Dorothy sets out in search of the Wizard of Oz, who she hopes will be able to help. As she travels, Dorothy is joined by an intellect-hungry Scarecrow, a forlorn Tin Woodman, and a deeply funny Cowardly Lion. But one of the most famous children’s literary villains of all time, the Wicked Witch of the West, threatens to keep the foursome from their goal. The traditional edition is accompanied by W.W. Denslow’s incredible illustrations, but many artists have re-illustrated this American masterpiece.

Industry Reviews
"I remember one of the first books my mother introduced me to was The Wizard of Oz. I can remember reading all of that series of the Wizard of Oz. I was very impressed. I kind of enjoyed the Tin Man. I remember the Wizard of Oz saying to the Tin Man, 'You want a heart?' And the Tin Man said, 'Yes I do.' And the Wizard said, 'Sometimes having a heart is not very good. It will make many people very unhappy.' And the Tin Man said, 'I will bear all unhappiness without a murmur if you will only give me a heart.' I enjoyed that. As I got a little older, I enjoyed Robert Service a great deal, particularly 'The Spell of the Yukon.' Because growing up in the West, and the mountains, I can remember very vividly things like, 'I've stood in some mighty-mouthed hollow/That's plumb-full of hush to the brim.' I remember us camping in the West, and standing at some mighty-mouthed hollow, plumb full of hush to the brim. That excited me about poetry."
William DeVries
Viennese illustrator and Hans Christian Andersen Medalist Lisbeth Zwerger takes a fresh look at L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz in a large-format edition. Zwerger's fantastical, delicate, eccentric illustrations bear no resemblance to the vision of the movie; they make the classic tale new again. And readers can view the Emerald City through a pair of green-tinted glasses, provided in the back of the book.
