Best Answer

No, "The Wizard of Oz" and "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" are the same stories, with different titles.

The original 1900 edition of the first book in the Royal Histories of Oz series by Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) has the title "The Wizard of Oz." That title subsequently was changed to "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." The reason lies in the beloved 1939 film version of the story under the title "The Wizard of Oz." Both the original book and the derived film are so popular that a slight change in the title of one respects the individual identities of the original written form and the later audio-visual entertainment.

So the use of different titles makes it easy for the audience to know immediately whether the book or the film is being referenced.
