"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is a children's novel written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. It tells the story of a Kansas farm girl named Dorothy who ends up in the magical Land of Oz after being swept away by a tornado with her pet dog Toto. She learns that she cannot return home until she destroys the Wicked Witch of the West. The book was initially published in 1900 and was followed by thirteen additional Oz books. The novel's success prompted Baum to write sequels. The book is one of the best-known stories in American literature, and the Library of Congress has declared it to be "America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairytale." The novel has inspired multiple stage and screen adaptations, including the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz." Baum was influenced by Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," and the original illustrator of the novel, W. W. Denslow, greatly influenced the way it has been interpreted. The book has received positive critical reviews upon release and has been praised for its bright and joyous atmosphere. Discover a new way to read classics with Quick Read.
