Since its publication in 1900, L.
Frank Baums The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has become Americas greatest and best-loved homegrown fairy tale.
Illustrated by W.
Denslow, the story tells the tale of Dorothy and her dog, Toto, who are carried away from their Kansas farm by a cyclone and land in a strange world inhabited by good and bad witches and tiny people called Munchkins.
Told that the Wizard of Oz is her only hope to return home, Dorothy is given magical shoes before she and Toto set off on the yellow brick road toward the Emerald City.
