The Wizard of Oz is a story about a girl named Dorothy from rural Kansas. She travels to a magical land after being caught in a cyclone that carries her off into the air, along with her house. The house lands in Oz, a magical land inhabited by Munchkins, fairies, witches, and flying monkeys among other unusual creatures. A good fairy advises Dorothy to follow the Yellow Brick Road and seek out the powerful Wizard of Oz, who can tell her how to get home again. In her travels she meets and befriends a scarecrow, a tin woodman, and a lion, each of them hoping that the Wizard can cure their own special malady. The powerful Wicked Witch of the West, whom they must ultimately confront, pursues the jolly group, at the end only to be defeated!
