Publisher's Synopsis
It is in this book that Oz is "discovered." A little Kansas girl-Dorothy Gale-is carried in her house to Oz when a cyclone whisks it through the sky. As the house lands in the Munchkin Country, one of the four great countries of Oz, it sends Dorothy off on her first adventure in this wonderful land. On her way, she finds the Scarecrow, meets the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion. Since this book appeared, more than a century ago, we have learned many marvelous things about the Land of Oz.
