This is the ultimate gift edition of L. Frank Baum's beloved story - just in time to celebrate the 70th anniversary of MGM's classic film adaptation! Featuring a ribbon marker, this magical version is redesigned and reproduced from the original art. It is aimed at children age 6 years and up. Charles Santore has crafted a very personal, highly visual and dazzling interpretation, with a carefully condensed text that uses virtually only Baum's own. Readers of all ages will follow the "Yellow Brick Road" on an unforgettable journey that takes them from Dorothy's grey Kansas home into the blue Munchkin land; the sparkling bejewelled Emerald City; the dark, foreboding forest and the ruby-red throne room of Glinda the Good Witch. Michael Patrick Hearn, the world's leading authority on "The Wizard of Oz" and L. Frank Baum, provides an enlightening introduction.
