Dorothy and her little dog, Toto, are swept away from their home in Kansas by a powerful tornado and dropped into an enchanting new land called Oz. To get home, the Witch of the North tells Dorothy she must follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City and ask the mysterious Wizard of Oz for help.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S)

At the age of fifteen, Baum’s father bought him a small printing press on which he and his brother soon produced their own newspaper, The Rose Lawn Home Journal. By his late teens, Baum had developed an interest in theater and was made the manager of his father’s opera houses. Throughout his career, Baum wrote more than eighty novels for children. He is best known for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its many sequels.
