Summary
Most of us remember The Wizard of Oz as the film with Judy Garland and Bert Lahr. But the film was based on an immensely popular series of Oz novels written between 1900 and 1913. In these books, Oz is a utopia beyond the rainbow where threats are turned back with valor and ingenuity. Their success is due to the way they induce children to look for the element of wonder in the world around them. Additionally, they have an easy optimism not prevalent in children's stories of that time. The Wizard of Oz and The land of Oz are two early samples of the Oz legend
