Evaluate Of Books The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Oz #1)

Some books are so well-known practically every person who has even a very brief knowledge of general literature knows that these books are about. In the light of this I really have no clue why I would bother to outline the plot of this one, but just in case somebody managed to miss it here goes. A little girl is transported into a magical land where she meets all kinds of magical creatures. She goes to visit the greatest wizard of the land hoping he would help her to get home. I want to get

- Good morning HAL.- GOOD MORNING MANNY. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT TODAY?- I thought we would talk about film and literature.- THAT'S FINE WITH ME.- Excellent. Okay, let's start with something easy. Do you know why I call you HAL?- IT IS A REFERENCE TO 2001, THE FAMOUS FILM BY STANLEY KUBRICK.- Very good, HAL!- THANK YOU.- Alright, let's move on to a harder topic. Do you have a favorite book?- YES.- And what is it, HAL?- IT IS THE WIZARD OF OZ.- Do you think you understand it, HAL?- DO

I thought it interesting that in the foreword Baum says he didn't want this to be violent like the fairytales of the past... and yet, a little girl transports to a strange land, kills the first person she meets, and teams up with three strangers to kill again. They also kill various creatures on their path of destruction.Perhaps we could savor all the violence but have a much more abridged version with the following:

"I am Oz, the Great and Terrible. Who are you, and why do you seek me?" pg. 92What a charming little classic. If you are an adult, and have only seen the film, you are in for a treat IMO. This is really a fairy tale. A 'modern fairy tale' as Lyman Frank Baum would describe it. Only he called it "a wonder tale." Still holds up today, still fun to read to children today. Still has this sense of whimsy and humor that I think makes it a good choice to read to children, even though it was published

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written at the turn of the 20th century, is probably one of the most iconic American fairy tales, just as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most famous childrens novels in English literature. Almost everyone -at least in the English-speaking world- knows about the adventures of Dorothy, the young farm girl from Kansas, in the magical land of Oz, and her sidekicks, the Scarecrow without a brain, the Tin Woodman without a heart and the Cowardly Lion who

This is one of those rare books where the movie is ACTUALLY BETTER than the book. I did read this years ago and I did enjoy it, but the movie tops it. Still all the magic is here at the beginning.

"There is no place like Oz!" Most people are at some point facing the situation that something throws them off track. The reason might not be that a tornado catches your house and dumps it later in a strange land - on a wicked witch - but something quite similar in intensity might well happen to any of you. You will find yourselves lost, helpless, sad and without orientation in a strange place. What can you do? The first rule for Oz travellers is to stick together even if your worries and needs
