What if Dorothy Gale wasn't the only person who went to see the Wizard of Oz? MGM's landmark 1939 movie 'The Wizard of Oz', starring Judy Garland, did not mark the beginning of adventures in Oz. Both before and since, dozens of tales have been told of the land of Oz, and its inhabitants such as the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, the Hungry Tiger and Jack Pumpkinhead. In this wide-ranging book, Paul Simpson looks back at the 'famous forty' - the original novels by L. Frank Baum and his successors which entranced generations of children with their wonderful world of munchkins, princesses and wicked witches.
