The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, Bill Nighy

A very cute read! I love the movie, musical, and spin-offs, so I decided it was time to read the original. The whimsical feeling throughout was contagious, and even though the things different between the book and the adaptations were new, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I had no idea how fun this book is! It’s a delightful adventure story without the darkness that the original movie includes. It was longer than I expected, and the ending was a surprise.
