The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Summary
Nearly everyone is familiar with the story of Dorothy from Kansas and her little dog, Toto. This is Dorothy's original adventure in Oz, when she's carried away from her Kansas farm by the fateful tornado. Together with her friends the Tin Woodsman, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow, Dorothy overcomes the Wicked Witch of the West and befriends the amazing and wonderful Wizard of Oz. Those familiar only with the movie will find many more adventures in this book - adding to the delight and wonder. First published in 1900, L. Frank Baum's classic children's tale is one of the world's most beloved, enduring fantasy classics - and perhaps not as recognized as it ought to be for establishing a new, wholly American sort of mythology.

Ozma of Oz
Summary
"Ozma of Oz: A Record of Her Adventures with Dorothy Gale of Kansas, the Yellow Hen, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, Tiktok, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger; Besides Other Good People too Numerous to Mention Faithfully Recorded Herein" published on July 30, 1907, was the third book of L. Frank Baum's "Oz" series. It was the first in which Baum was clearly intending a series of "Oz" books. It is the first "Oz" book where the majority of the action takes place outside of the Land of Oz. Only the final two chapters take place in Oz itself. This reflects a subtle change in theme: in the first book, Oz is the dangerous land through which Dorothy must win her way back to Kansas; in the third, Oz is the end and aim of the book. Dorothy's desire to return home is not as desperate as in the first book, and it is her uncle's need for her rather than hers for him that makes her return. "Oz" no. 4.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Summary
The classic children's tale The Wonderful Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum follows the adventures of young Dorothy, who lives in Kansas with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. As many fans know from the beloved film adaptation of the book, a terrible swirling cyclone sweeps through the prairie area where Dorothy and her family are living, and in an attempt to get to safety, Dorothy's dog Toto buries himself under a bed. The house is picked up by the extreme winds, and when Dorothy awakens after the event, she is no longer in the town she calls home. Dorothy comes to find out that her house has crushed the Wicked Witch of the East, that she has freed the Munchkins from enslavement, and that she must now return to Kansas after she tracks down the Wizard of Oz in Emerald City. Along the way, Dorothy acquires friends and comrades such as the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, who help her along her journey on the yellow brick road. The group encounters a series of hurdles, including one in which they have to kill the Wicked Witch of the West. At the end of her quest, Dorothy discovers that she had the power to return home all along and does so with a simple click of her bedazzled silver heels. Upon returning to the prairie, Dorothy has never felt so relieved to see her aunt and her uncle.
