Hi Everyone and Welcome to the first "Woozy Wednesday!" Woozy's are creatures in the Wizard of OZ books, which I am reading this summer.
Author: L. Frank Baum
Summary from Amazon:
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is an American children's novel originally published in 1900. It is often reprinted under the title The Wizard of Oz which was also the title of the famous 1939 movie adaptation. The story chronicles the adventures of a young farm girl named Dorothy in the magical Land of Oz, after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their Kansas home by a tornado. The book is one of the best-known stories in American literature and has been widely translated. The author followed it up with thirteen additional Oz books.
Personal Review:
It is interesting to have read this book in conjunction with seeing the movie. There are similarities, but also differences. It is interesting to think about the books when they came out and the timeframe in which they were introduced.
No spoilers...but a few highlights that you never heard about:
*Silver Slippers
*The story behind the Tin Man
*Field Mice
I enjoyed it!
Happy Reading!
