L. Frank Baum 
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz 

‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ by L. Frank Baum is a timeless classic that whisks readers away on an extraordinary adventure over the rainbow. This enchanting tale begins with young Dorothy Gale, swept away from her gray Kansas prairie home by a cyclone, landing in the vibrant, magical land of Oz.

Accompanied by her dog Toto and new friends-the Scarecrow, who seeks a brain; the Tin Woodman, who desires a heart; and the Cowardly Lion, who is in need of courage-Dorothy embarks on a journey to the Emerald City to meet the mysterious Wizard of Oz. Along the way, they confront witches, enchanted creatures, and challenges, discovering that true bravery, love, and wisdom come from within.

Baum’s imaginative storytelling creates a world where anything is possible and where the journey itself is as important as the destination. This beloved story is not just a children’s book, but a metaphorical exploration of growth, friendship, and the power of belief.
