One of the best-known stories in American culture, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has stirred the imagination of young and old alike for over 100 years. Academy Award-winning actress Anne Hathaway ( Les Mis�rables , Rachel Getting Married ) lends her voice to this uniquely American fairy tale. Follow the adventures of young Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto as they get swept away into the magical land of Oz, where they encounter characters and places you may remember from the movie--and several more that never made it to the big screen--on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City. "It's such a wonderful book and I was so happy to be a part of bringing it to life," Ms. Hathaway said. "There are a lot of great voices in it. The more fun you have with it, the sillier and the more free you get with it, the better it is because it's a story that can handle it. It's amazing to be able to discover something new about something you feel you know so well." The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is part of Audible's A-List Collection, featuring the world's most celebrated actors narrating distinguished works of literature that each star had a hand in selecting.

This was one of the few books I owned as a child. This was my first fantasy novel and I did read it over and over. Of course I built stories about what else may have happened in OZ as I read. I did read it until the covers fell off.
As my kids grew of course I introduced them to OZ, to Dorthy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman...and the Lion. But they went on and read many of the other OZ books I never did.
I think things that last, things that one generation can share with the next...and for that matter the next and the next are great and should be cherished.
