“There is no place like home.”
Inspired by the works of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, the Oz series tell the stories of Dorothy, a girl from Kansas, in the World of Oz. These stories were clearly inspired by the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and Andersen, however, there is a twist to these stories that have a certain American feel (the contrast between the World Oz and Kansas is an excellent example of this).
The stories of the Oz universe are clearly a story for children, however, I would say that adults would also like these stories. They are complete stories (with a beginning, middle, and end), full of wonderment, and well-developed characters.
I really liked these stories and fully recommend them.
