La strada per Oz (Il mago di Oz)

by Lyman Frank Baum, Stella Sacchini (translator), Mirko Esposito (translator)

Il sole splende sul Kansas quando Dorothy, con il suo inseparabile cagnolino Toto, decide di accompagnare lo strambo Uomo di stracci per un tratto di strada. Il bivio che si trovano davanti, però, li trasporta in un’altra dimensione... Insieme al marinaretto Botton d’Oro e Policroma, la multicolore figlia dell’Arcobaleno, arriveranno a Volpopoli, la città delle volpi antropomorfe, e poi ad Asinaia, i cui abitanti, manco a dirlo, hanno le fattezze di asini. E da lì in poi si può solo proseguire, sulle ali della fantasia, alla volta del Regno fatato di Oz!
