The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has been called "the first true American fairy tale" and it richly deserves the title. The story of Dorothy's epic journey through a strange land, filled with terrifying enemies and loyal allies, resonates today as much as it did when it was first written, at the turn of the last century.
You've probably seen the movie countless times, so you might not expect any surprises from the book. But when you listen, you'll be charmed by how imaginative it is, and in a way that's different from the film.
I dearly love the movie, but, in this reading, I've tried to approach the story as if I'd never seen it. My Dorothy is a little younger than her cinematic counterpart and her trio of beloved friends - The Scarecrow, The Tin Woodsman and The Cowardly Lion - are all just a little sillier. It's hard to escape from the shadow of the MGM spectacular, but I've done my best.
I hope you have as much fun listening as I'm having recording!
So sit back, put on your slippers (ruby, silver or whatever color you like) and watch out for flying monkeys! Load up your MP3 player and remember - There's no place like home!

This indeed is an excellent audio version of the classic book. Jason is awesome, for he made the characters came to life by his voice. I must say, after listening to other audio books of Oz, that Jason's version is one of the best and funniest. Listening to this audio ...

We really enjoyed listening to Jason's reading of the book. He did such a great job impersonating the characters that the book came alive to us. Thank you!

Shouldn't this be on librivox.org instead of podiobooks? Does this reader get paid as an author?
Decent rendition of a fun story

Th reader was good, but maybe the bouces were meant for a younger audience than me. There was a missing section of the book between chapter 18 and 19 where Dorothy uses the hat to summon the monkeys a second time. This part was not presentprepresenot present

You probly know this already, but there is a huge series of Oz books by L. Frank Baum. I've read them so many times I couldn't even count. The movie was good, but it's only a tiny part of the Oz story. I encourage anyone and everyone to check out ...

It is great to be reminded of this classic children's book. And quite timely, as well, since my kids are at the perfect age to listen to stories audibly. I am looking forward to giving them the opportunity provided by Jason Pomerantz with this reading.

That's a one great book. Jason Pomerantz is really amazing with his creativity in acting the voices of our beloved characters, and I really liked the character-voice development after fulfilling their wishes. My favorite character voice for sure would be the scarecrow.

When I started listening to this book, I remembered trying to read it once upon a time, but couldn't because the characters had so many peculiar speech mannerisms! I had no problem listening to Jason read. You did good, Jason! Thanks!
