The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is an American childrens novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow.[1] The first novel in the Oz books, the Kansas farm girl named Dorothy ends up in the magical Land of Oz after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their home by a tornado.[2] Upon her arrival in Oz, she learns she cannot return home until she has destroyed the Wicked Witch of the West.[3]

The book was first published in the United States in May 1900 by the George M.

It was often reprinted under the title The Wizard of Oz, which is the title of the successful 1902 Broadway musical adaptation as well as the classic 1939 live-action film.

저자(글) L. Frank Baum

Lyman Frank Baum (/bːm/;[1] May 15, 1856 May 6, 1919) was an American author best known for his childrens books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its sequels. He wrote 14 novels in the Oz series, plus 41 other novels (not including four lost, unpublished novels), 83 short stories, over 200 poems, and at least 42 scripts. He made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and screen; the 1939 adaptation of the first Oz book became a landmark of 20th-century cinema.

Born and raised in upstate New York, Baum moved west after an unsuccessful stint as a theater producer and playwright. He and his wife opened a store in South Dakota and he edited and published a newspaper. They then moved to Chicago, where he worked as a newspaper reporter and published childrens literature, coming out with the first Oz book in 1900. While continuing his writing, among his final projects he sought to establish a movie studio focused on childrens films in Los Angeles, California.
