Helpful Score: 3
What a pure joy it was to read this historical novel about the lives of L. Frank Baum, the author of "Wizard of Oz" and his wife, Maud! As the story unfolds, the reader discovers the inspiration for the characters and features of Oz. The chapters alternate between the filming of "The Wizard of Oz" and the earlier lives of the Baums as they struggled financially. Along the way, Maud befriends Judy Garland and her story is woven in. Lovingly told by the author, this story is a magical trip down the yellow brick road, bringing a huge smile to your face.
