The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children's novel written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. Originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900, it has since been reprinted numerous times, most often under the name The Wizard of Oz, which is the name of both the popular 1902 Broadway musical and the well-known 1939 film adaptation.The story chronicles the adventures of a young girl named Dorothy Gale in the Land of Oz, after being swept away from her Kansas farm home in a cyclone. The novel is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture and has been widely translated. Its initial success, and the success of the 1902 Broadway musical which Baum adapted from his original story, led to Baum's writing thirteen additional Oz books.

I've only seen snippets of the movie so I am writing this review without regard to the movie. I loved this book. My children, ranging in age from four to thirteen, warmed to the story and sat through lengthy times of reading. The joy of the story for me is found in the three friends of Dorothy: the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow and the Lion. These characters and the description of their development is a pleasure to see as the story unfolds. Not only does Dorothy get home, but each of these three ends in a much better place than they began. Each of these characters had all that they needed to thrive but just needed someone to believe in them so that they would have the confidence to prosper. I am looking forward to seeing the movie now. I can't imagine it will contain some of the violent scenes in the book but it should still be highly entertaining. The book stands on its own as a fun and interesting story that will keep the interest of children and adults.

This is the same delightful story I enjoyed as a child with -- and this is important -- illustrations by the same artist. This is going to be a gift for my granddaughter. I believe she will be transported to that magical world of Oz just as my mother was when she was a little girl, as I was as a child, and as my children were. This is a timeless classic that all children should read or have read to them.

There’s a reason this printing is so cheap. The pages are packed with text and pretty small font. Not really laid out well, but it’s very compact and is fine. If you’re looking for a copy with nice layout, this isn’t a good plan, though.

1.0 out of 5 stars The book is about 1/10th of an inch thick and looks and feels like it cost about 25 cents to make

The same story as L. Frank Baum's masterpiece, but that's about it. It's more of a manuscript than a book. No illustrations. It's as though it was printed from a computer. Where one chapter ends, the next one begins on the next line of the same page. The book is about 1/10th of an inch thick and looks and feels like it cost about 25 cents to make.

1.0 out of 5 stars Un classique mais qui ne fait pas rêver à cause sa mise en page
Reviewed in France on August 19, 2018

J'adore les livres pour enfants car je lis tous les soirs à mon fils pendant plus d'une heure en anglais et ou en français.
En revanche ce livre m'a déçu ainsi que mon fils car il ne contient aucune image et de plus tout est compacté et petit. Le plaisir de la lecture est quelque peu gâché ce qui est dommage car l'histoire est vraiment fantastique.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 5, 2016

Bit disappointed. No pictures and it looks like its printed like a play script rather than a book, it would be more reader friendly with more spacing and paragraphs. My son has no interest in reading it sadly. Not what I was hoping for.
