A cyclone hits Kansas and whirls away Dorothy to the magical land of Oz, where she befriends the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion. Together they search for the Wonderful Wizard in his Emerald City to ask him to grant them what they most desire - only to find that they already possess it. Published at the dawn of the twentieth century, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) immediately captivated child and adult readers alike. This new edition includes many of W. W. Denslow's original illustrations, and the introduction considers both the famous MGM film version and recent literary theory in a fascinating discussion of this children's classic.
