The Wizard of Oz (with the original illustrations by W. W. Denslow)

THE WIZARD OF OZ is one of the â€œ100 Best Children's Chapter Books of All-Timeâ€ and the â€œ100 Best Childrenâ€™s Books Everâ€ (The Telegraph).

This edition of L. Frank Baumâ€™s classic story contains the original illustrations by W. W. Denslow.

It recounts the adventures of a girl called Dorothy and her dog Toto in the Land of Oz after they are swept away from a Kansas farm by a cyclone.

Helped by the success of the musical and the classic 1939 movie starring Judy Garland, it remains one of the best-loved stories in childrenâ€™s literature.

Many of the characters and ideas in the story were based on Baumâ€™s own life.

Baum acknowledged the influence of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen; his aim was to write â€˜American Fairy Talesâ€™ that included the wonder without the horrors.

â€œThis book is amazing and to be honest I prefer it to the film - it is more emotional and you get to feel like you know the characters and that you are going through everything with them.â€

â€œI have watched different films and programmes but none are better than the original book. I recommend this to all.â€

â€œA great book for people who enjoy thrilling adventure stories. Doesn't only appeal to children, but to adults as well. A fabulous book!â€

â€œWell written, amusing, exciting. It certainly deserves its status as a classic. If you have not read the book because you think you know the story I would ask you to reconsider. You are in for a treat.â€

â€œItâ€™s more interesting than the film with more quirks and story twists.â€

â€œBrilliant book. Couldn't put it down.â€

â€œGreat book!!! Loved it.â€
