A mostly delightful story (child-me would have been put off by the amount of violence; even adult-me was a bit surprised) that breezes along with wit and whimsy. I'm always curious when stories change medium. I love to see what writers used and what they discarded or changed from the book to create the screen version. (The first film version was the 1910 silent short film, followed by a few silent versions of other Oz stories before the famous the 1939 adaptation). The storytelling style and illustrations whisk the reader to another time (and, of course, place!)
N. B. The version I read was The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Deluxe Hardcover Edition): Featuring a Debossed Cover with 3-Color Foil and Illustrated by W.W. Denslow, not found in this database.
