What is the first line of the book 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Answer 1

Opening OzThe opening line of the book "The Wizard of Oz" is the following:

Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife.

Answer 2

The sentence, 'There's a cyclone coming, Em', is the first line that Uncle Henry says in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' by Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919]. It immediately is followed with 'I'll go look after the stock'. In fact, those are the only lines that Uncle Henry says in the entire book.

In the beloved 1939 movie version, Uncle Henry says, 'Don't bother us now, honey' to Dorothy Gale. That's followed by 'this old incubator's gone bad, and we're likely to lose a lot of our chicks'. Those aren't the only words that Uncle Henry says in the film. He isn't a talkative person. But he definitely comes off as more so in the film than in the book.

Answer 3

The Wizard of Oz lets Dorothy, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion each know that he can do nothing to help them until they eliminate the Wicked Witch of the West. Once the foursome, and Toto, kill the Witch, the Wizard supposedly grants the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion what they want. In so doing, he gives little speeches of explanation for what he's doing. In the film, for example, he gives the Scarecrow a diploma. In the original book version, he fills the Scarecrow's head with bran, and explains that the Scarecrow has bran-new brains. And then the Wizard tells Dorothy that she's getting back home by way of a hot air balloon ride with him. The Wizard gives a farewell speech at the time of the balloon launching. Toto jumps out of the basket, Dorothy runs out to catch her pet dog, and the balloon takes off.
