The Road to Oz is a charming and whimsical tale that will delight readers of all ages, and is a must-read for fans of the Oz series.A little girl, radiant and beautiful, shapely as a fairy and exquisitely dressed, was dancing gracefully in the middle of the lonely road, whirling slowly this way and that, her dainty feet twinkling in sprightly fashion. She was clad in flowing, fluffy robes of soft material that reminded Dorothy of woven cobwebs, only it was colored in soft tintings of violet, rose, topaz, olive, azure, and white, mingled together most harmoniously in stripes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
