Descripción editorial
An Apple Books Classic edition.
You’ve seen the iconic 1939 movie, but do you know about the talking field mice, the Winkies, and the Witch of the North that appear in the original book? L. Frank Baum’s beloved classic - the first title in the Oz series - is more complex and intricate than the movie, but just as colorful and fun. The story features a large cast of enchanting characters and a thrilling heroic quest.
Upon the book’s release in 1900, Baum wrote, “It aspires to be a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heart-aches and nightmares are left out.” Mission accomplished. Readers of all ages immediately fell in love with the story, demanding sequels, and Baum obliged, penning more than a dozen installments before his death in 1919.

This book though short, is a masterpiece! The way that Frank Baum takes you through the mystical land of Oz, it’s unique! Since the beginning it’s clear that Dorothy could’ve chosen not to be charm and fair but my! How helpful she is, encouraging the reader to seek basic solutions and see the consequences of being simple but amusing and compassionate.
