The Irreverent Classics Study Guide: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

A Classic. A Journey. Irreverent Questions.

L. Frank Baum's timeless tale has enchanted readers since 1900 — following young Dorothy Gale from the gray Kansas prairies into a land of witches, talking scarecrows, cowardly lions, and a wizard who turns out to be considerably less impressive up close.

Why didn't anyone mention the heel-clicking sooner? Who is truly responsible for the balloon incident? And at what point would you have stopped letting a cursed axe replace your body parts one limb at a time?

This study edition pairs Baum's complete, unabridged text with chapter-by-chapter questions designed to provoke real thought — irreverent enough to make the classic feel alive.

96 study questions. 24 chapters. Zero flying monkeys harmed.
