The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Illustrated First Edition): 100th Anniversary OZ Collection

A beautiful edition with more than 160 illustrations and the cover from the 1900 first edition.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is an American classic. A children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W.W. Denslow, it is one of the best known stories ever written. Sometimes called just The Wizard of Oz, it was adapted for the blockbuster 1939 movie starring Judy Garland. The story chronicles the adventures of a young farm girl named Dorothy in the magical Land of Oz, after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their Kansas home by a tornado. Her adventures with the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion are known by almost everyone. The author followed up this first book with thirteen additional Oz books that are sequels to the first story.

Quick little read.
The film was really close to the book. I had no idea!
Also, the shoes aren't red? Whaaaaat?!

I liked it. It's pretty funny.

I'm going to try and read the whole series.
