This annotated edition with the facsimile of the original story and illustrations is a treasure. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a classic american fairy tale for all ages. If you saw the movie (and who hasn't?) you must read the book. This is where all the timeless magic of the movie came from.

One of the few books that just cannot compete with the movie. The book is choppy with not enough attention to detail. J.K. Rowling would stomp on L. Frank Baum.
