Amity The Wizard of OZ

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a popular American children's novel written by L. Frank Baum. The book, more commonly known in its shorter form, as The Wizard of Oz, was first published on May 17, 1900, and became an instant hit among the readers. The story is about Dorothy, a young orphan girl who lives with her uncle and aunt in the dull, grey city of Kansas, in the middle of a prairie. For miles around, she can see nothing but grassland. Dorothy's only joy in life is her dog. Toto. She plays with him, all day long. One day there is a violent cyclone and her house, along with Dorothy and Toto, is carried far, far away, and lands in the strange land of the Munchkins. The rest of the plot revolves around Dorothy's quest to find her way back home. In her expedition, she is accompanied by a scarecrow who wants a brain, a tin woodman who wants a heart and a cowardly lion who wants courage. And only the Wizard of Oz can help them. They pass through fabulous lands peopled with not just good witches, bad witches and phony wizards but also, winged monkeys and Kalidahs.
