No birthdate is given for Dorothy Gale in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, author and Oz series creator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1865 - May 6, 1919) gives no information as to when and where Dorothy Gale was born. Neither does he give any information as to her age. From the illustrations in the original 1900 book edition, readers would assume Dorothy to be a young girl of elementary school age.
