Description

Follow the yellow brick road to the land of Oz with Dorothy and her friends!

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.

Featuring colourful sprayed edges and a heat-burnished cover with foil stamping, this edition of The Wizard of Oz is a stylish addition to your bookshelf.
