The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Master storyteller Jim Weiss brings a classic adventure to vivid life in this unabridged audio performance.
When a tornado whisks young Dorothy away from Kansas with her faithful dog Toto, she finds herself in the mysterious Land of Oz, where unknown dangers and strange creatures await her. Can she find a way back home? Can her new friends the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man find courage, brains, and a heart? Searching for answers from the mysterious Wizard of Oz, and pursued by the forces of the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy and her companions must work together to complete their dangerous quest.
Jim Weiss’s fresh performance of this American classic introduces a new generation of listeners to the magic, wonder, and adventure of the Land of Oz. If your only experience with The Wizard of Oz is the movie, you will be astounded and delighted to find that L. Frank Baum's book is full of adventures, characters, and charm far beyond the wonder that the big-screen version conveyed.
