About this title

About the Author:

"Anyone in a fairy country like the Land of Oz can do anything" Believing that the modern fairy tale no longer required 'a fearsome moral' rendered by 'horrible and blood-curdling incidents', L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) decided to create a world in which 'the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out'. Since the early successes of the Oz series during the author's lifetime, and with the production of numerous stage, film, television and literary adaptations in the years since his death, Baum's magical fairyland of Oz - devised 'solely to please children of today' - has continually delighted and influenced the imaginations of millions across the world for over a century.

Review:

"It was great fun to go back and revisit the story of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz through this amazing book... The book cover illustration is fantastic, very pleasing to the eye and great for kids. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz deserves no less than 5 out of 5 stars." - Rachel Bustin, Parenting blogger
