The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
L. Frank Baum & Marieke Nelissen
Trim size: : 19,2 x 26,1 cm | 240 pages
Vertaler(s): Margaretha van Andel
A classic for the 21st century
People who never read the book probably did see the film with Judy Garland, or the remake with Michael Jackson and Diana Ross – the story of the girl transported to the land of Oz by a whirlwind is part of our canon of children’s literature.
However, the story published in 1900 could use some freshening up, so Margaretha van Andel took up the text and with her literary genius refashioned it into a sparkling adventure once again. And Marieke Nelissen used her pencils and brushes to breathe new life into all of the characters (yes, they’re all there: Dorothy and her dog Toto, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman – and, of course, lots of munchkins and other creatures). Everyone who follows her on Facebook and Instagram has already been able to witness the development of the book, and certainly cannot wait to see everything come together.
In this beautiful, newly bundled edition, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is ready for the next 100 years.
