The Wizard of Oz

Alexander Melentyevich Volkov was a born teacher: he worked as a teacher, a school director, and an assistant professor at an institute. And at the same time I constantly studied myself. A few years after graduating from the Tomsk Teachers'... Institute, he entered the mathematics department of the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute, and then the physics and mathematics department of Moscow State University. In addition to technical sciences. Volkov had an excellent knowledge of history, literature, and spoke foreign languages. And it is not surprising that such a multi-talented person also wrote books. His famous "The Wizard of Oz" has become a true children's classic and has been translated into 13 languages.

The heroes of the book - the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion - dream of fulfilling their cherished desires. The Scarecrow wants to become smart. The Tin Woodman is kind and loving, the Lion is brave and courageous, as befits the king of beasts. And Ellie wants more than anything to return home to Kansas, to her mom and dad. After all, the girl miraculously found herself in a completely foreign and, at the same time, magical country. Now only the great Goodwin, the wizard of the Emerald City, can help her, as well as her friends, in fulfilling their desires. And the heroes of this wonderful fairy tale set off along the road paved with yellow brick to the distant Emerald City.
