Merry, little and laughing are the descriptions of Dorothy in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) describes Dorothy Gale in his first chapter on the cyclone. He focuses on personality traits more than on physical descriptions. In fact, he just says that she is a little girl who has a merry voice and likes to laugh with her pet dog Toto.
