The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (e-book)

In the first of L. Frank Baum’s time-Honoréd „Oz” novels, country girl Dorothy Gale and her little dog Toto are caught in a tornado, they and their Kansas farmhouse are suddenly transported to the fantastical Land of Oz where Munchkins live, monkeys fly and Wicked Witches rule, wild beasts talk, silver shoes have magic powers, and good witches offer protection with a kiss. Desperate to return to her native Kansas, and, aided by the Good Witch of the North, she and Toto – together with new friends the Tin Woodsman, Scarecrow and cowardly Lion – set out for the Emerald City at the heart of Oz to get help from the legendary, all-powerful Wizard of Oz and to ask him to grant each of them what they most desire – only to find that they already possess it. With quirky illustrations, an amusing sense of logic, and delightful characters, „The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” is a gratifying start to a well-loved series.
