Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
You’ve seen the iconic 1939 movie, but do you know about the talking field mice, the Winkies, and the Witch of the North that appear in the original book? L. Frank Baum’s beloved classic - the first title in the Oz series - is more complex and intricate than the movie, but just as colorful and fun. The story features a large cast of enchanting characters and a thrilling heroic quest.
Upon the book’s release in 1900, Baum wrote, “It aspires to be a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heart-aches and nightmares are left out.” Mission accomplished. Readers of all ages immediately fell in love with the story, demanding sequels, and Baum obliged, penning more than a dozen installments before his death in 1919.

Surprisingly simplistic
Didn’t realise how simplistic this classic story is. Easy to read and quick to get through, I might see if my 7-yo enjoys reading it as an introduction to chaptered books.
What I think
I would definitely recommend reading this as being a kid a lot of books don’t catch your eye but this one really did it for me after a while the wizard of oz blew up in my school so much that our play was the wizard of oz anyway if you don’t like reading jump into this it will be a total life changer im telling you
