Reading Notes: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Part C

Bibliography: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

The thing about this book is that, unlike the movie, the climax of the book is not Dorothy defeating the wicked witch of the West. She does still go on to see the wizard (who is actually from Omaha, Nebraska). Oz is actually the one who had the Emerald City built and named. The people were so scared of him that they did whatever he said to do. He is a great showman, and a story written about him would be very dramatic. I do think the new movie about Oz did him some credit as a character.
