About this audiobook
When Dorothy and her dog Toto are caught up in a whirlwind and carried far away to the land of Oz, the little girl has no idea of the strange adventure that awaits her! Lost in a strange land, she, and three strange friends she makes along the way, make their way to the Emerald City, home of the Mysterious Wizard: Oz the great and terrible, in the hope that he can give each what they desire most. But Oz demands a high price for such a task, and even then all is not as it seems...
This timeless classic by L Frank Baum, that resulted in multiple sequels, narrated her by Michael Ward.
Lyman Frank Baum
Lyman Frank Baum was born in 1856 in Chittenango in the state of New York. Educated mostly at home due to ill health, he was encouraged by his wealthy father to pursue his early interests in journalism and playwriting. He started his first magazine aged fifteen, had his own theatre at twenty-four and worked for many newspapers and periodicals before turning to children's fiction with stories he had made up for his own four sons. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900, was his third bestselling book in as many years, and launched the series of Oz titles. Baum had moved with his family to Hollywood following the huge success of the books and stage adaptations. His own Oz Film Manufacturing Company failed to capitalize on the stories, and the hugely popular movie The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland, was not made until twenty years after Baum's death in 1939.
