The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781494241377)

Dorothy is a young orphaned girl raised by her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in the bleak landscape of a Kansas farm. She has a little black dog Toto, who is her sole source of happiness on the dry, gray prairies. One day the farmhouse, with Dorothy and Toto inside, is caught up in a cyclone and deposited in a field in Munchkin Country, the eastern quadrant of the Land of Oz.

Before she leaves, the Good Witch of the North kisses her on the forehead, giving her magical protection from trouble ...
