Über dieses E-Book

The first three books in the timeless children’s fantasy series—including the basis for the classic film The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: When a tornado transports Dorothy Gale from Kansas to the marvelous land of Oz, she must follow the yellow brick road to find the Wizard, who can help her get home. Along the way she meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, each of whom has a wish as important as Dorothy’s.

The Marvelous Land of Oz: The Emerald City—once ruled by the kindly Scarecrow—has been taken over by the mean General Jinjur. Now an orphan boy named Tip joins with Scarecrow to find the only one who can save the city: the last rightful heir to the throne of Oz, a princess who was hidden away long ago.

Ozma of Oz: On Dorothy’s next magical journey, she winds up in the land of Ev, where she meets new friends such as the mechanical man Tik-Tok and the clever chicken Billina. But to save the imprisoned royal family of Ev, Dorothy calls upon her friends from Oz—including the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the new queen of Oz.
