A cyclone. A yellow brick road. A wizard whose gifts turn out to be things you already had.

L. Frank Baum’s 1900 adventure has been read aloud, adapted, staged and re-illustrated more times than any other American children’s book. At Wordsworth it’s available in three forms — a compact paperback from our £4.99 Classics range, an oversized edition for young readers, and a foil-blocked Collector’s Edition designed to keep on a shelf.

About this book

First published 1900. Still in print, still travelling.

Baum’s book has never been out of print. The Wordsworth editions restore the complete original text with W.W. Denslow’s classic illustrations intact — the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion and the poppy field, all as they first appeared.

Wonderful Wizard of Oz & Glinda of Oz
Description
The story, in short

In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a huge cyclone transports the orphan Dorothy and her little dog Toto from Kansas to the Land of Oz, and she fears that she will never see Aunt Em and Uncle Henry ever again. But she meets the Munchkins, and they tell her to follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City where the Wonderful Wizard of Oz will grant any wish.

On the way, she meets the brainless Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion. The four friends set off to seek their heart’s desires, and in a series of action-packed adventures they encounter a deadly poppy field, fierce animals, flying monkeys, a wicked witch, a good witch, and the Mighty Oz himself.

The Classics and Children’s Classics editions also include Glinda of Oz, the last of the original Oz books, in which Dorothy and Princess Ozma seek the help of Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, when they find themselves in peril on the Magic Isle of the Skeezers.

Baum L. Frank
L. Frank Baum (1856 – 1919) was an American writer and dramatist, who wrote on a part-time basis until he published ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ at the age of 44, at which time he retired to write on a full-time basis. In all he wrote a further thirteen ‘Oz’ books, and these works have been hugely popular ever since.
