“There is no place like home.” We all know the movie and storyline well.
But have you ever read the original novel? Influenced by the Brothers Grimm
and Hans Christian Andersen, L. Frank Baum created this classic story and
fantasy using the dream of young Dorothy on her journey home to demonstrate
the theme of good vs. evil. Throughout her adventure, she encounters
several newfound friends: a scarecrow, a tin woodman, and a cowardly lion.
They traverse the land of Oz together by following the famous yellow brick
road to the stunning Emerald City. Though they encounter surprises along
the way, what they find in the Emerald City shocks them. * This beautiful
book comes with luxurious endpapers, a beautiful and stylish heat-burnished
cover, and is a convenient 5 x 7 trim size for easy handling. * The
immediate success of The Wizard of Oz inspired L. Frank Baum to write
thirteen more Oz books. The Wizard of Oz is one of the best-known and most
widely translated stories in popular culture. About the Word Cloud Classics
