From the Samuel French Publishing Company, et. al.:

Dorothy is a schoolgirl living in Kansas with family and her little dog, Toto. One afternoon, a twister sucks up Dorothy's house and she and Toto are dropped beyond the rainbow into Munchkinland. With a pair of magical red slippers and some advice from Glinda the Good Witch, Dorothy, Toto and three new friends--the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion--follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, where they must ask the all-powerful Wizard of Oz to get Dorothy and Toto back home. The Wicked Witch, however, is determined to get her hands on the slippers, and sends out her flying monkeys to capture the group--as if you needed to know any of this. In the end, each receives his dearest wish after the long journey.

All the songs from the classic MGM movie musical including:

• Over The Rainbow
• Ding-Dong! The Witch is Dead
• If I Only Had a Brain
• We're Off to See the Wizard

In 1904, struggling novelist Frank L. Baum finally achieved success with his children's fantasy The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written to inspire his daughter through a difficult illness.

Thirteen sequels to Oz followed to the delight of readers everywhere. In 1911, a stage production of the original work appeared. For almost 100 years, some version of the story has been repeated in theatrical form around the world!

Then, in 1939, an MGM movie opened starring Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and Bert Lahr, featuring an unforgettable musical score. Garland's winsome performance and emotion-filled vocals contributed to the film's iconic status.
