Synopsis
The Wizard of Oz is surely the best loved of all modern fairy tales: a mgical story in which Dorothy, together with her companions the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion, makes her enchanting journey along the yellow brick road in search of the wonderful Wizard--a journey that takes her to the City of Emeralds.
This is the complete and unabridged original story, which gave rise to the famous movie but which stands in its own right as a great fantasy.

Review
For many of us, the adventures of Dorothy in Oz will forever be associated not with Judy Garland singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" but with W. W. Denslow's exceedingly odd line drawings for the original editions of Baum's Oz series. The Viennese artist Lisbeth Zwerger, however, goes a long way toward providing a new and refreshed set of images for the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the humbug wizard. These illustrations are often cockeyed, with occasional realistic details thrown in, like a crow with a corncob in its beak in the first portrait of the Scarecrow. The characters have a poignance and oddity that escaped the makers of the Oz movie.
