A tornado carries Dorothy and her dog Toto out of Kansas and into a country where scarecrows talk, and L. Frank Baum's fantasy has stayed in print ever since.
The road to the Emerald City gathers a scarecrow who wants a brain, a tin woodman who wants a heart and a lion who wants courage, each of whom turns out to have been managing without. Baum wrote it as an American fairy tale, plainly told and light on moralising, which is part of why it works aloud as well as alone. This HarperCollins Children's Classics edition presents the full text for new readers and for adults coming back to it.
A snapshot of the contents:
• The complete original novel, not an abridgement or picture retelling
