Along the way, they encounter numerous obstacles and challenges, including a treacherous underground river and the wicked Nome King, who seeks to capture them and steal their magic.

Full of adventure, humor, and fantastical creatures, ""Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz"" is a beloved classic that continues to captivate readers of all ages.When Dorothy recovered her senses they were still falling, but not so fast. The top of the buggy caught the air like a parachute or an umbrella filled with wind, and held them back so that they floated downward with a gentle motion that was not so very disagreeable to bear. The worst thing was their terror of reaching the bottom of this great crack in the earth, and the natural fear that sudden death was about to overtake them at any moment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
