the first book of an amazing series about the heroes of the fabulous Land of Oz, born from the imagination of the wonderful American writer Lyman Frank Baum, on whose books more than one generation of children all over the world has grown up. Baum's fairy tales are about the Most Important and Necessary things - about strong friendship, about self-confidence, about the ability to win victories in the most difficult circumstances. Baum's books are full of amazing characters and incredible adventures, but the main thing in them is amazing warmth, cheerful kindness, and optimism. Drawings by Alexander Shahgeldyan.
