Wizard of Oz

A tornado, a yellow brick road, a lion who needs courage and a wizard who may or may not be quite what he seems. This is one of those stories that children have been falling into for over a hundred years, and this Puffin Clothbound edition, with its deep green cover and gold foil Emerald City, is the version you want on the shelf.

We love it because:

• The Puffin Clothbound editions are simply the most beautiful way to own a classic: proper cloth boards, gold foil illustration, the kind of book that gets handled with a little more reverence than usual and kept for a very long time
• The story itself is everything: friendship, bravery, the long way home, and the quiet revelation that what you were looking for was with you all along
• Black and white line illustrations throughout, which feel just right for this particular world
• Equally lovely as a first reading-aloud-together book or as the edition a child graduates to when they're ready to read it themselves

What's in the box:

• Hardback, 208 pages
• Black and white line illustrations throughout
