Book Description:
L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) is a beloved American fairy tale that has captivated readers for over a century with its imaginative world, unforgettable characters, and themes of courage, friendship, and home. The story follows Dorothy, a young girl swept away from Kansas by a cyclone, as she journeys through the magical Land of Oz in search of a way back home.
Along the Yellow Brick Road, she meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion — each on a quest for something they believe they lack. Together, they face trials, witches, and wonders as they seek out the mysterious Wizard of Oz. But in the end, it is Dorothy’s own strength, kindness, and determination that reveal where true power lies.
Whimsical, heartfelt, and richly imaginative, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz remains a cornerstone of children’s literature and a timeless allegory about self-discovery and the meaning of home.
