The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
L. Frank Baum, 1899
A vibrant journey into a world of improbable color and whimsical creatures, where the greatest treasures are the heart, courage, and a touch of pure imagination.
L. Frank Baum
1856–1919
Baum was a staunch opponent of the then-fashionable idea that children's books should be didactic, preferring to let children construct their own magic.
Feels like wonder, adventure and home.
How does an entire civilization exist through a filter of green glass?
Even with eyes protected by the green spectacles, Dorothy and her friends were at first dazzled by the brilliancy of the wonderful City. The streets were lined with beautiful houses all built of green marble and studded everywhere with sparkling emeralds. They walked over a pavement of the same green marble, and where the blocks were joined together were rows of emeralds, set closely, and glittering in the brightness of the sun. The window panes were of green glass; even the sky above the City had a green tint, and the rays of the sun were green. Books by L. Frank Baum
