Synopsis

The Wonferful Wizard of Oz is undoubtedly a classic. First published in 1900, it is now one of the most beloved children's books ever written. When Dorothy and Toto are suddenly swept off the plains of Kansas by a huge cyclone to the land of Oz, they meet up with some of the most endearing characters ever created - the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion. Together they set off on a fantastic journey down the yellow brick road in search of the wonderful Wizard of Oz. Michael Foreman's edition of this classic adds visual impact to the original text with his trademark bright, whimsical watercolours.

Media Reviews
- 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares left out.' L. Frank Baum, Chicago, April 1900
