And I am off...off for a year of Oz.
Lory at Entering the Enchanted Castle will start a readalong of the Oz books by L. Frank Baum. The Book Stop, home of a fellow Oz fan, will be joining Lory as co-host.

A classic of children's literature, I think I liked the 1938 movie better. Rather ironic that in the prologue he says he wanted to write a fairy tale without violence -- there is still quite a bit of it throughout the story.

I read the series of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz as a child. It was fun to revisit this magical book. It reminds me of an era that is lost within this generation.
We should keep these alive ...

Much weirder than I expected. I never thought I'd say this, but I liked the movie better.
