First, one of the great classics of children's literature, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," which tells the story of young Dorothy, who is caught up in a cyclone and transported to the magical kingdom of Oz. In order to return home, Dorothy is instructed to travel to the City of Emeralds and ask the Wizard who rules there for his help in getting back to Kansas. Along the way, Dorothy befriends a strange group of traveling companions - a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodsman and a cowardly Lion - who are all in need of the Wizard's assistance. Thus begins this magical and wonderful journey into a world of unmatched imagination and creativity; a work that inspired no less than thirteen sequels and innumerable film, stage and television adaptations.
