What this book is about
Dorothy Gale is swept away from Kansas by a tornado to the magical land of Oz, where she accidentally kills the Wicked Witch of the East. Joined by the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion—each seeking something they already possess—Dorothy follows the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City. Baum's beloved fantasy, with its themes of friendship, courage, and the comforts of home, became the foundation of an entire American mythology.
