My theory


I think this version is just a version that the old man reading the book to his daughter made up because he was sick of reading it (the original book) to the girl, because she always wanted him to read it to her, like most little kids do when they like a book.

So he just made up another story about a girl called Dorothy who lives on a farm with Uncle Henry and Auntie and goes to some place called Oz which has a wizard and somehow, there was a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion involved some way and the old man thought his daughter wouldn't know the difference!
