In the original 1910 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy Gale's farmhouse is carried by a cyclone all the way from Kansas to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. Dorothy and her pet dog Toto land in the Blue Munchkin Country of the East. As they trudge down the Yellow Brick Road, they meet the Scarecrow in the surrounding farmland, and spend the night in a small cottage by the wayside. The three then meet the Tin Woodman where the Road is flanked by trees. And the four then meet the Cowardly Lion where the Road goes through a dark, scary, thick forest. The five friends cross two deep, wide ditches to escape the bear-bodied, tiger-headed Kalidahs. On the other side of a wide river is the poppy field. Dorothy falls asleep, and is carried away from perpetual sleep by the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. The beautiful, graceful Queen of the Field Mice helps the four friends rescue the bulky, heavy Cowardly Lion from sleep eternal. The five friends pass through farmland, and spend the night at one of the attractive, roomy farmhouses. The next day, they reach the Emerald City, where they are admitted to the Emerald Palace. From the Palace, the five friends head towards the Yellow Winkie Country of the West. They take a break in the neglected, rough, uninhabited countryside. The Winged Monkeys capture them, but take only the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy, and Toto to the Yellow Castle of the Wicked Witch of the West. Once Dorothy kills the Witch, she has the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman brought to the Castle to recuperate from the injuries inflicted when their respective destrawing and dropping on the rocks by the Monkeys. The five friends start back to the Emerald City, but decide to call upon the Monkeys for a direct flight to the Emerald City. In the City, they once again gain admittance to the Emerald Palace, and thereby the Throne Room of the Wizard. When the Wizard leaves in his hot air balloon, the five friends head southward for help from Glinda the Good Witch. They go through fields, the wood of Fighting Trees, the Dainty China Country, and the Great Old Forest. They catch a direct flight over the Hill of the Hammer-Heads, and into the Red Quadling Country of the South, by way of the Winged Monkeys. From the Red Palace of Glinda the Good, the five friends separate. The Tin Woodman goes back to rule from the Yellow Castle of the Winkie Country of the South. The Scarecrow goes back to rule from the Emerald Palace. The Lion goes back to rule in the Great Old Forest. And Dorothy and Toto go back home to Aunt Em, in the new farmhouse built by Uncle Henry, in Kansas. In the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's farmhouse lands on top of, and kills, the Wicked Witch of the East. In thanks, she and her pet dog Toto are invited into the Munchkin village. As they travel down the Yellow Brick Road, they meet the Scarecrow, then the Tin Woodman, and finally the Cowardly Lion. The five friends almost fatally are sidetracked when they go through the poppy field. They visit the Emerald City, and get into the Emerald Palace of the Wizard. They leave the Palace for the Castle of the Wicked Witch of the West. Almost immediately, they see a sign that reads 'I'd turn back if I were you'. They trudge on through a wilderness until they're captured by the Winged Monkeys. The Winged Monkeys drop the three friends, and carry just Dorothy and Toto to the Witch. But Toto runs away, and brings the three friends to the Castle of the Wicked Witch of the West. After killing the Witch in self-defense, Dorothy leaves with Toto and her three friends for the Emerald City. In the City, she sees the Wizard take off in a hot air balloon, and then Glinda the Good appear. Dorothy uses the secret power of the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East to get back to Kansas. The movie ends with her in the family farmhouse with Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, and Toto.
