A newly illustrated edition of this classic tale by one of Australia's greatest children's book illustrators.
When a raging cyclone whisks Dorothy's Kansas home away, she and her dog Toto, trapped inside, are transported to the magical Land of Oz. Desperate to return home, they set off towards the Emerald City to find the Great Wizard who can help them. So begins the action-packed adventure that delivers a world of witches and wizards, a pair of magical silver shoes, and a trio of new friends: the Tin Woodman, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion. These three prove to be valuable companions to Dorothy in the classic fairytale, where the journey itself really is at the heart of it all...
First published in 1900, L. Frank Baum's tale is a tapestry of traditional storytelling, an exciting quest and unforgettable characters. This beautiful new edition brings together the complete and unabridged text with over seventy magnificent illustrations by the award-winning Australian artist Robert Ingpen.
