Best Answer

The year 1900 appears as the original publishing date of "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the original copyright date is listed as 1899. But the original title tends not to be used when the book is discussed. Instead, the book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum is called "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" to differentiate it from the beloved 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz."
