This is the LAST section of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz much to my dismay. It is a lovely book that would be a great addition to a literary library read to children.
Here is where they finally meet Glinda, the Good Witch of the South. The book does not specifically state whether Glinda and the Good Witch of the North spoke to one another often. It does make sense to me that the directors of The Wizard of Oz the movie would merge these two characters into one for clarity and to lower the character count.
Glinda wants the magic of the winged monkeys, and Dorothy replies that she will gladly give her the hat if she will help her home. This is funny, because all Glinda wants to use the hat for is to get the other three in the party home as well. Very clever Baum.
And all along, the magic silver shoes on Dorothy's feet could have carried her all the way across the desert. Too bad the Good Witch of the North did not enlighten her about that coincidence.
Dorothy still have to knock the heels three times, but now she can go anywhere. This is so important, because it means that she will be able to travel back to Oz whenever she pleases! OH, just kidding. The shoes fell off Dorothy's feet.
However, when she got home for the first time in ages, a new home built by Uncle Henry was waiting for her. How sweet.
This story was made May 15, 1900. Wow.
