Sinopsis

'The book has a bright and joyous atmosphere and does not dwell upon killing and deeds of violence. Enough stirring adventure enters into it, however, to flavor it with zest ...It will indeed be strange if there be a normal child who will not enjoy the story.''An original departure in childrenâÇÖs literature, in every way novel and unique. ... The text is charming and will prove interesting to both young and old. ...'á- The New York Times, 1900.' âÇÖThe Wonderful Wizard of OzâÇÖ has become AmericaâÇÖs greatest and best-loved homegrown fairy tale. The first totally American fantasy for children, it is one of the most-read childrenâÇÖs books.'á- Library of Congress.'The Oz books are far ahead of their time both scientifically and politically. They are full of inventions that would not appear on the market for most of the century, among them a robot man, an artificial heart and limbs, a television monitoring system, anti-gravity devices, and a computer-type news service.'á- Alison Lurie.'I have learned to regard fame as a will-o-the-wisp, which when caught, is not worth the possession, but to please a child is a sweet and lovely thing that warms oneâÇÖs heart and brings its own reward.'á- L. Frank Baum.The Wonderful Wizard of Ozáis an enchanting tale of adventure and self-discovery in a magical country.
