Editorial Reviews:

One of the true classics of American literature, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has stirred the imagination of young and old alike for over four generations. Originally published in 1900, it was the first truly American fairy tale, as Baum crafted a wonderful out of such familiar items as a cornfield scarecrow, a mechanical woodman, and a humbug wizard who used old-fashioned hokum to express that universal theme, "There's no place like home."

Follow the adventures of young Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, as their Kansas house is swept away by a cyclone and they find themselves in a strange land called Oz. Here she meets the Munchkins and joins the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City, where lives the all-powered Wizard of Oz.

This lavishly produced facsimile of the rare first edition contains all 24 of W. W. Denslow's original color plates, the colorful pictorial binding, and the 130 two-color illustrations that help make The Wonderful Wizard of Oz so special and enduring.

5 out of 5 stars Makes a Great Gift!

Arrived in time for gift-giving and was much appreciated! Like many, they had seen the Judy Garland version of the movie but hadn`t ever gotten to read the REAL story. Special Anniversary edition makes an ideal gift, beneath it`s outstanding dust jacket is facsimile of first edition binding. Inside is also identical to the original with ALL of it`s wonderful artwork! This edition is further enhanced by gilded page edges & emerald green satin bookmark (bond in). Sure to be cherished and enjoyed by future generations too.

5 out of 5 stars Classic gift

I bought this as a present for my boyfriend...he's always been a fan of the movie, and I thought it would be nice to get him the original version. He was surprised to learn all the differences between the book and the movie and has read it twice since I bought it (just over a month ago). He liked it so much that I've decided to start getting him the other Oz books for his collection.
