Important history from that special Oz historian, L. Frank Baum. Meet the witch Mombi, Tip (who isn't who he seems to be), Jack the Pumpkinhead and the wooden Sawhorse, Professor Wogglebug, The Patchwork Girl - oh a whole panoply of woderful characters.
Popular when first written decades ago - still very popular. Children and adults, both, love these books. Be ready to make your imagination work overtimne.
Much better than the movie...
