The Wizard of Oz book - Flame Tree Publishing

The works of L. Frank Baum are widely acclaimed, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is known worldwide, particularly from the 1939 musical film adaptation featuring Judy Garland as Dorothy. Published in 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz depicted the young farm girl Dorothy and her dog Toto, who were whisked away by a cyclone to the Land of Oz. Baum was inspired by the works of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, focusing on manipulating fairy tale tradition with an American twist in the Oz series. This edition collects the best works of L. Frank Baum from Oz, drawing material from the first publication of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900 and subsequent novels, including Ozma of Oz, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, and The Lost Princess of Oz.
