The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) is a timeless children's story by Lyman Frank Baum. A young girl, Dorothy, lives in Kansas with her uncle Henry. A tornado strikes, and Dorothy finds her house in a strange land and upside down on top of the now-dead the Wicked Witch of the East. Dorothy wants to go home, and the Good Witch of the North tells her to travel to the Emerald City and ask the Wizard of Oz to help her.
