THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ by L. Frank Baum (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Listening to The Wizard of Oz is an eye-opening experience. Theres more to this storys plot, themes, and connections than is revealed in the movie classic. Anna Fieldss narration creates a new vision of a younger, sweeter Dorothy…a more adventurous journey to Oz; and a new ending.” (AudioFile)

This, the complete and unabridged original tale that provided us with the best-loved classic movie, stands on its own as a great modern-day fairy tale. Dorothy, her dog Toto, and her companions, the Tin Woodsman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion, are characters that endure in the hearts of children and adults alike.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones® Award-winning narrator, Anna Fields. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.
