OZ is 100 years old!


While everyone knows the Wizard of Oz from the movie, few people know that the movie is based on just one of 14 books written by L. Frank Baum. Most of these books are now available online.

Did you know:

  • Dorothy's slippers were silver, not ruby.
  • Unlike the movie, Dorothy's journey was only half complete after she destroyed the Wicked Witch of the West.
  • Glinda the Good, was the Witch of the South, not the North.
  • A deadly dessert surrounds the Land of Oz.
  • There was a kingdom in Oz contained nothing but people made of china.
  • The cowardly lion fought a monster that was half tiger and half bear.
  • dorothy was rescued from the poopy field by mice.
  • This and so much more awaits you in the land of OZ
